The latest edition of Warship, the celebrated annual publication
featuring the latest research on the history, development, and
service of the world's warships. For over 45 years, Warship has
been the leading annual resource on the design, development, and
deployment of the world's combat ships. Featuring a broad range of
articles from a select panel of distinguished international
contributors, this latest volume combines original research, new
book reviews, warship notes, an image gallery, and much more,
maintaining the impressive standards of scholarship and research
with which Warship has become synonymous. Detailed and accurate
information is the keynote of all the articles, which are fully
supported by plans, data tables, and stunning photographs. This
year's Warship includes features on the secret battleship design
that Mussolini's Fascist Italy sold to Stalin's USSR, the
little-known German flak ships of World War II, the French aircraft
carriers Clemenceau and Foch, and the development of electronic
warfare in the Royal Navy.
The battleships of the _Dunkerque_ and _Richelieu_ classes were the
most radical and influential designs of the interwar period, and
were coveted by the British, the Germans and the Italians following
the Armistice of June 1940\. After an extensive refit in the USA,
_Richelieu_ went on to serve alongside the Royal Navy during
1943-45. Using a wealth of primary-source material, some of which
has only recently been made available, John Jordan and Robert Dumas
have embarked on a completely new study of these important and
technically interesting ships. A full account of their development
is followed by a detailed analysis of their design characteristics,
profusely illustrated by inboard profiles and schematic drawings.
The technical chapters are interspersed with operational histories
of the ships, with a particular focus on the operations in which
they engaged other heavy units: Mers el-Kebir, Dakar and
Casablanca. These accounts include a detailed analysis of their
performance in action and the damage sustained, and are supported
by specially-drawn maps and by the logs of _Strasbourg_ and
_Richelieu_. Twenty-two colour profile and plan views illustrate
the ships' appearance at the various stages of their careers.

The varied topics in this year's annual includes articles on the
Imperial Japanese Navy carriers Soryu and Hiryu, post-war radar
development in the Royal Navy, gunboats in the Imperial German
Navy, Soviet battleship designs of the early Second World War,
modern European frigates, and the origins of the Yokosuka naval
yard.
Of all the threats faced by the Royal Navy during the first years
of the twentieth century, the one which stood out was the risk to
Britain's sea lines of communication posed by France's armoured
cruisers. Fast, well-armed and well-protected, these ships could
have evaded any attempted blockade of the French ports and,
supported by a worldwide network of overseas bases, could
potentially have caused havoc on the trade routes. Between 1898 and
1901 the French laid down thirteen ships, and completed nine in
1903-4 alone. This book has as its subject the French armoured
cruisers built from the late 1880s until shortly before the
outbreak of the Great War, beginning with the revolutionary
Dupuy-de-L me, the world's first modern armoured cruiser, and
ending with the impressive six-funnelled Edgar Quinet and
Waldeck-Rousseau. The primary focus of the book is on the technical
characteristics of the ships. Detailed and labelled drawings based
on the official plans are provided by John Jordan, and each
individual class of ship is illustrated by photographs from the
extensive personal collection of Philippe Caresse. The technical
section is followed by a history in two parts, covering the Great
War (1914-18) and the postwar years, during which the surviving
ships saw extensive deployment as station' cruisers overseas and as
training ships. This is the most comprehensive account published in
English or in French, and is destined be the standard reference for
many years to come.
Between the wars the French produced some of the largest, and
certainly the fastest, destroyers in the world. Known as
Contre-Torpilleurs, these striking and innovatory super-destroyers
form the core of this book, but the more conventional Torpilleurs
d'Escadre are also covered. This history combines the technical and
service material published in French-language monographs over the
past two decades with the authors' own research from primary
sources. The structure of the book follows that of the highly
successful French Cruisers, with Part I devoted to the design of
each of the classes built after 1922. The text is accompanied by
detailed data tables and illustrated by a comprehensive set of
specially-drawn plans and schemas based on official documents, as
well as carefully-selected photographs from French naval sources
and from private collections. Coverage runs down to the Le Hardi
class, the last pre-war design. Part II deals with the historical
side, covering the eventful careers of these ships before, during
and after the war. This section is illustrated by maps specially
drawn for the book, and by contemporary photographs.Like its highly
successful predecessors, French Battleships and French Cruisers,
this beautifully presented book blends technical and historical
analysis to produce what must become the standard English-language
reference work.
The Washington Treaty of 1922, designed to head off a potentially
dangerous arms race between the major naval powers, agreed to
legally binding limits on the numbers and sizes of the principal
warship types. In doing so, it introduced a new constraint into
naval architecture and sponsored many ingenious attempts to
maximise the power of ships built within those restrictions. It
effectively banned the construction of new battleships for a
decade, but threw greater emphasis on large cruisers. This much is
broadly understood by anyone with an interest in warships, but both
the wider context of the treaty and the detail ramifications of its
provisions are little understood. The approach of this book is
novel in combining coverage of the political and strategic
background of the treaty - and the subsequent London Treaty of 1930
- with analysis of exactly how the navies of Britain, the USA,
Japan, France and Italy responded, in terms of the types of
warships they built and the precise characteristics of those
designs. This was not just a matter of capital ships and cruisers,
but also influenced the development of super-destroyers and large
submarines. Now for the first time warship enthusiasts and
historians can understand fully the rationale behind much of
inter-war naval procurement. The Washington Treaty was a watershed,
and this book provides an important insight into its full
significance.

international social policy field. It contains vital research,
including discussions on the changing landscape of occupational as
well as corporate welfare in the UK, the continuing impact of
austerity on various social policy areas and the challenges
currently faced by the NHS. Published in association with the SPA,
this comprehensive analysis of the current state of social policy
will be of interest to students and academics in social policy,
social welfare and related disciplines.
Fight for the Final Frontier uses the concepts associated with
irregular warfare to offer new insights for understanding the
nature of strategic competition in space. Today’s most pressing
security concerns are best considered using an irregular warfare
lens because incidents and points of potential conflict fall
outside the definition of armed conflict. While some universal
rules of combat apply across all domains, conflict in space up-ends
and flips those assumed standards of understanding. Â
John Klein provides a solution to reckoning with the many
malicious, nefarious, and irresponsible behaviors in the space
domain by using the irregular warfare framework. This offers a new
paradigm through which one can view and study conflict, outside
traditional combat, involving state and non-state actors. A
“war†in space will be utterly unlike any that have happened on
Earth, though scholars can provide lessons from past conflict to
understand the flashpoints in the heavens.  Providing
the needed foundational understanding, Fight for the Final Frontier
makes the case that irregular warfare in the space domain is shaped
by the fundamental nature of all warfare, along with universal
principles of strategy and the essential unity of all strategic
experience. Going one step further, John Klein outlines the new
arenas for battle, new areas of conflict and competition, and the
necessary concepts for operating in this bold new frontier.Â
