This involves a discussion of tactics and emphasizes the key enabling technology of fire control and gun mountings. In this respect, the book treats the war as a transition from naval weapons which were essentially experimental at its outbreak to a state where they pointed directly to what would be used in World War II. Based largely on original research, this sophisticated book is more than a catalogue of the weapons, offering insight into some of the most important technical and operational factors influencing the war at sea.

  • Torpedoes and Torpedo Warfare
    TORPEDOES AND TORPEDO WARFARE. 33 The PRESIDENT introduced Lieut. O. L. A. Burford, C.N.F., to Members, and said that the lieutenant was the Commonwealth torpedo expert, and that in listening to his lecture on "Torpedoes, and Torpedo Warfare from its Earliest Inception" they would learn the views of one thoroughly sound in the theory and prac- tice of his subject. Lieut. O. L. A. BURFORD delivered the lecture, which was profusely illustrated by lantern slides and the exhibition of tor- pedo gyroscopes and their governing action, etc. The PRESIDENT, at the conclusion of the demonstration, said that at that late hour it was impossible to discuss the many points of vital import raised, however interested they might be in the matter. He moved that Lieut. Burford be accorded a very hearty vote of thanks for his informative lecture. The motion was carried by acclamation. Lieut. O. L. A. BURFORD briefly responded, and the meeting closed at 10.35. LECTURE. ABSTRACT OF LECTURE ON TORPEDOES AND TORPEDO WARFARE. Delivered by Lieutenant O. L. A. BURFORD, C.N.F. The torpedo as a weapon of practical utility first came prom- inently into notice during the American Civil War. They were in the form of casks and cases filled with gunpowder, and moored in such a position as to endanger any ship navigating in their vicinity, and they were fired by means of a chemical fuse or clock- work arrangement. In 1861 they were used with more or less success by the Southern States. During the course of the war, it was found these mines could be removed when not supported by guns on shore, so a further development was made by taking the mine to the enemy's ship by means of a boat.

  • British First-Class Cruiser Development 1884 – 1909
    The Genesis of a Cruiser Navy: British First-Class Cruiser Development 1884 – 1909 By Scott M. Lindgren Being a thesis submitted for the qualification of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the University of Salford School of Humanities, Languages and Social Sciences 2013 Abstract From the middle of the 1880s until the commencement of the Great War 1914-’18 the first-class cruiser was an vital component of the British battlefleet. This was a period in which technology and tactics evolved at an extremely rapid pace, forming the material basis for Sir John Fisher’s ‘Dreadnought Revolution’, in which cruiser qualities of speed, range and offensive power were greatly prized. Throughout this era enormous sums were spent on such types: they were frequently longer than and cost almost as much as their battleship contemporaries, while carrying a near-equivalent armament and possessing significant advantages in both speed and endurance. Despite these capabilities, British first-class cruisers, especially those of the 1890s, are comparatively rarely examined by historians. This thesis fills the gap in the historiography by examining the place and development of the type in the Royal Navy from 1884-1909, and illustrates how they would progress from being a trade-defence vessel, to a genuine alternative to the battleship, and would ultimately form the basic inspiration for all of the service’s first all-big-gun capital ships. It begins by assessing the origins of the type in the mid-Victorian era and considers how the contemporary strategic position and materials drove vessel characteristics, resulting in the development of the first unofficially termed ‘battle-cruisers’ to counter the threat of a Franco-Russian guerre de course employing dedicated raiding types and armed high- speed liners.
