Abstract Managerial attention to the leader’s strategic designs has been identified as a key prerequisite for success in the adoption of new technologies. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze how the battlecruiser concept as an organizational gestalt was developed, adopted and assessed in the British Royal Navy (RN) in 1904- 1918 from the perspective of the top leader’s personality and managerial attention.

HARVARD C OLLEGE LIBRARY t ✓ -t-O t ^ —fro/I- .- f [•RES8F O CA8B, TIFrANY AND COMPANY, HARTFORD, CONN. PREFACE. The f ollowing pages contain a selection from the Gene alogical Notes made by my uncle, Nathaniel Goodwin, from time to time after his appointment to the office of Judge of Probate for the district of Hartford, in 1833, and prepared for publication by him during the last three or four of the latter years of his life. They were not designed by him to be complete genealogies even of the families which * are t reated of, but, as the title indicates, genealogical notes to assist others in tracing out their family histories. Mr. Goodwin had begun to print the work, making his final cor rections as the proof-sheets were brought to him, and had proceeded as far as page 68, when the printing was suspend ed, as he hoped temporarily, by a severe attack of disease, but as the event proved, finally, so far as he was concerned, by his death. At his request, made a few days before his death, and the desire of his executors, the manuscripts were placed in the hands of Henry Barnard, LL. D., President of the Connecticut Historical Society, who had rendered my uncle similar aid in his former publications, to see through the press ; but the pressure of his engagements obliged him, after the supervision of some fifty pages, to relinquish all further care of the work, beyond preparing a iv P REFACE.

  • 1 Second Lieutenant Clifford Henry Oliver Jupp (Regimental Number
    Second Lieutenant Clifford Henry Oliver Jupp (Regimental Number 157), having no known last resting-place, is commemorated on the bronze beneath the Caribou in the Newfoundland Memorial Park at Beaumont-Hamel. His occupation prior to military service recorded as that of a dry-goods clerk working for G. Knowling, Importers and General Merchants of Water Street and Duckworth Street, and earning a monthly fifty-eight dollars and thirty-four cents*, Clifford Henry Oliver Jupp was a recruit of the First Draft. *In the 1911 Census for England he was documented as a Warehouseman working for a wholesale merchant in the city of Manchester. He presented himself at the Church Lads Brigade Armoury* in St. John’s, capital city of the Dominion of Newfoundland for a medical examination on August 31 of 1914. It was a procedure which would pronounce him as…Fit for Foreign Service. *The building was to serve as the Regimental Headquarters in Newfoundland for the duration of the conflict. When exactly it was that Clifford Henry Oliver Jupp was to enlist is not clear as three different dates are to be found in his papers: August 26, August 31 and September 5, the day on which his brother, Leonard John…joined-up. However, whenever it may have been – the venue would have been the same CLB Armoury – he was engaged…but for only a year’s service*…at the daily private soldier’s rate of a single dollar to which would then be added a ten-cent per diem Field Allowance. *At the outset of the War, perhaps because it was felt by the authorities that it would be a conflict of short duration, the recruits enlisted for only a single year.

This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University Signed: 1 This thesis is dedicated to Miss Macaulay, an inspirational teacher and head of history at Dorking County Grammar School. When I gave up the study of history to pursue a medical career, she told me that she ‘could have made a historian’ of me. I could not have completed this thesis without the help, direction and guidance of my supervisor, Dr Michael Duffy and my tutor Dr Maria Fusaro. Dr Duffy in particular has always had a very gentle, but firm hand on the tiller; he has been a truly outstanding pilot and helmsman. I am also extremely grateful for the assistance of Dr Trevor Preist, Dr Alan Wall and Dr Shaun Kilminster for specialist advice on physics, navigation and statistics respectively. I also thank for their unstinting support and assistance the various and many librarians I have consulted. In particular, Miss Jenny Wraight and the other staff of the Admiralty Historical Branch and Library, but also all the staff at the National Archive; between them they epitomise what public service should be.

Poor Blücher! As the result of misunderstood signals and a lack of initiative on the part of a commander, the entire British squadron concentrated on sinking the old armored cruiser instead of dealing with three of the Kaiser’s modern battle cruisers. One of those ships, Derflinger, would destroy HMS Invincible during the Battle of Jutland a year later, and the other two, Moltke and Seydlitz, would acquit themselves well.

CESARIO Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, R.J.Q. Adams Committee Members, Adam Seipp Joseph G. Dawson James Hannah Head of Department, David Vaught May 2016 Major Subject: History Copyright 2016 Bradley M. Cesario ABSTRACT The three decades before the First World War were a period of intense militarism, and in the United Kingdom this meant navalism. By the late Edwardian period the navalist movement had captured Britain’s attention – a movement that paradoxically claimed the Royal Navy was weaker than at any point in its history while presiding over a total revolution in British naval technology and a concurrent unprecedented rise in naval budgets. This dissertation explores the creation, propagation, success and failure of directed navalism between 1884 and 1914. Directed navalism, for the purposes of this project, refers to the cooperation between and support of navalism among three elite national groups: serving naval officers at the level of captain and above (professionals), naval correspondents and editors working for large- circulation national newspapers and periodicals (press), and members of Parliament in both houses, from backbenchers to high Cabinet-level officials, who dealt with navalist issues during the course of their public service careers (politicians). Directed navalism was the bedrock upon which the more popular and ultimately more successful ‘soft’ navalism – penny dreadfuls, the Navy League, fundraising drives, fleet reviews – was built.

    BROADSIDES OF INK: A STUDY OF THE CONTROVERSIES ABOUT THE BATTLE OF JUTLAND APPROVED: lajor Professor Minor Profess irector o Dea*n of the Graduate School /9/. Summers, Herbert R., Broadsides of Ink; A Study of the Controversies About the Battle of Jutland. Master of Arts (History)/ August, 1973, 197 pp., 2 appendices, bibliography, 54 titles. This thesis is an analysis of the arguments over the major questions about the Battle of Jutland. These questions include ones on naval strategy, tactics, materiel, and the effect of the battle. The major sources are The Times (London) 1916-1937, Times Literary Supplement 1918-1964, The Spectator 1920-1921. The most important secondary sources were Bacon's Jutland Scandal, Corbett's Official History of the War: Naval . Operatj ons, Churchill's World Crisis, 1916-1918, Gibson and Harper's Riddle of Jutland, Frost's Battle of Jutland, Chalmers's Life and Letters of David, Earl Beatty, Harnett's Swordbearers, Bennett's The Battle of Jutland, Marder's From the Dreadnought to Seapa Flow, and Irving's Smoke Screen of Jutland. The first chapter narrates the battle to provide basic information. The second chapter discusses the controversies revolving around the battle. Next follows an analysis of letters to newspapers. Major themes concern naval doctrine, strategy and. tactics, the comparison of the modern navy with Nelson's navy, and the storm over the Barper Report. The next chapters are a chronological analysis of book length studies of the battle as well as letters. The final chapter sums up the major questions of strategy, tactics, materiel, and the conduct of individual commanders.
