During this period, the armaments industry underwent a radical transformation, moving from being based on public-owned arsenals and yards to being based on private firms – the system of military procurement prevalent today.

    All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 239 – SEPTEMBER 2014 EDITORIAL As I sit here at the Desktop PC compiling AGB, with my laptop to one side, my mobile ‘phone (which contains more computing power than was on board Apollo 11) in my pocket, a TV in the corner with who knows how many channels, a toaster in the kitchen that contains a microchip, I thought about this little snippet of a story I came across the other week. “On 12 August 1981, the IBM PC 5150 was unveiled at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. You would have had to shell out $1,565 to get your hands on one, but that wasn’t bad when you think that 20 years earlier, a computer would have cost you $9m. That’s assuming you had somewhere big enough to put it”. IBM had asked Microsoft to write the software and the rest, as they say, is history. Also what would $9m and $1,565 equal now adjusted for inflation? Welcome to new NWS Members, L Rohrbaugh, J Briggs and M Hill. Somewhere in the World, the Sun is over the yardarm.

Wood was giving way to iron for shipbuilding and armor protection. Smooth bore guns were giving way to rifles, both muzzle- and breech-loading. And the leading gun makers were graduating from cast iron to steel barrels. And the firm of W.G. Armstrong in Britain was rapidly rising to prominence in the field.

Annual cost estimated at $200,000.00. From the outset it is called the Royal Naval Canadian Volunteer Reserve (RNCVR). May 03, 1937 A Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve (RCNVR) Half Company is raised in Port Arthur, now Thunder Bay, Ontario. This unit would later become HMCS Griffon. May 04, 1910 The Naval Service Bill receives Royal Assent. It creates a Department of the Naval Service under the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, who will be the minister of the Naval Service, and authorizes the appointment of a Deputy Minister. A Naval Reserve Force and a Naval Volunteer Force are authorized, with both forces liable for active service in an emergency. A naval college is provided for in order to train prospective officers in all branches of naval science, strategy and tactics. The Naval Discipline Act of 1866, and King’s Regulations and Admiralty Instructions are to apply to the service. Two old cruisers, HMCS Niobe and HMCS Rainbow are purchased from the Admiralty to be used as training ships. The naval college is established in Halifax.
