Excerpt from The Royal Navy, Vol. 2 of 5: A History From the Earliest Times to the Present The present volume appears at a date three months later than that at which it was originally hoped to produce it. It appears also with a slight change in the names which were originally intended to figure on its title-page. For the delay I am, I fear, myself mainly responsible. Continuous ill-health, which has rendered it impossible for me to live, except for brief periods at a time, anywhere save in high altitudes, has made it particularly hard for me to work with steady regularity upon the book, and has of course, complicated in an extreme degree the difficulty of preparing a history which is largely based upon the study of original documents. The delay is, however, in some measure due also to the same cause which has necessitated the substitution on the title-page of the name of Mr. L. Carr Laughton for that of Mr. E. Fraser. Mr. Edward Fraser, in the early part of 1896 undertook to contribute to this volume the chapters dealing with the operations of the Navy in the period 1603 - 1660. Not until long after the expiration of the limit at first assigned to him for the completion of those chapters did I reluctantly realise that I could afford to grant him no further con cession of time. He assures me that he regrets that he has been unable to keep faith with me, and through me, with the publishers and with my readers; and I need scarcely add that I regret it also. Yet I believe that in a son of Professor Laughton, the veteran writer on naval history, I have found no inefficient substitute. Mr. Laughton describes the active work of the Navy under James I., Charles I., and the Commonwealth. For the remainder of this volume Sir Clements Markham and myself are responsible.

The Seven Years War (1756-1763) was the first global conflict and became the key factor in creating the British Empire. This book looks at Britain's maritime strategic, operational and tactical success (and failures), through a wide-ranging history of the Royal Navy's role in the war. By the end of the war in 1763 Britain was by no means a hegemonic power, but it was the only state capable of sustained global power projection on a global scale. Key to Britain's success was political and strategic direction from London, through the war planning of Pitt the Elder and the successful implementation of his policies by a stellar cast of naval and military leaders at an operational and tactical level. Martin Robson highlights the work of some of the key protagonists in the Royal Navy, such as Admiral Hawke whose appreciation of the wider strategic context at Quiberon Bay in 1759 decided the fate of North America, but he also provides insights into the experience of life in the lower decks at this time. Robson ultimately shows that the creation, containment and expansion of the British Empire was made possible by the exercise of maritime power through the Royal Navy.

The Royal Navy's operations in World War II started on 3 September 1939 and continued until the surrender of Japan in August 1945 - there was no 'phoney war' at sea. The navy played a central role in the evacuation of the retreating British army at Dunkirk, and later orchestrated the sinking of Germany's mighty battleship and Hitler's pride, the Bismarck. Without the Royal Navy's attention to the defence of Britain's seaborne trade - especially in the struggle against German U-boats in the Battle of the Atlantic - there would not have been food for the country, fuel for the RAF's operations or supplies to keep the army fighting in Europe, North Africa and the Far East. Yet the outstanding naval contribution to Britain's survival and eventual victory came at a heavy cost in terms of ships and to the men who had to face not just the violence of the enemy, but also the violence of the sea. This book argues that World War II was, effectively, a maritime war; it was the Royal Navy's war.

Since 1900, the Royal Navy has seen vast changes to the way it operates. This book tells the story, not just of defeats and victories, but also of how the navy has adjusted to over 100 years of rapid technological and social change. The navy has changed almost beyond recognition since the far-reaching reforms made by Admiral Fisher at the turn of the century. Fisher radically overhauled the fleet, replacing the nineteenth-century wooden crafts with the latest in modern naval technology, including battleships (such as the iconic dreadnoughts), aircraft carriers and submarines. In World War I and World War II, the navy played a central role, especially as unrestricted submarine warfare and supply blockades became an integral part of twentieth-century combat. However it was the development of nuclear and missile technology during the Cold War era which drastically changed the face of naval warfare - today the navy can launch sea-based strikes across thousands of miles to reach targets deep inland. This book navigates the cross currents of over 100 years of British naval history. As well as operational issues, the authors also consider the symbolism attached to the navy in popular culture and the way naval personnel have been treated, looking at the changes in on-board life and service during the period, as well as the role of women in the navy. In addition to providing full coverage of the Royal Navy's wartime operations, the authors also consider the functions of the navy in periods of nominal peace - including disaster relief, diplomacy and exercises. Even in peacetime the Royal Navy had a substantial role to play. Covering the whole span of naval history from 1900 to the present, this book places the wars and battles fought by the navy within a wider context, looking at domestic politics, economic issues and international affairs. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in naval history and operations, as well as military history more generally.
