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.

  • Battleships and British Society, 1920-1960[1]
    A Global Forum for Naval Historical Scholarship International Journal of Naval History August 2004/ December 2004 Volume 3 Numbers 2/3 Battleships and British Society, 1920-1960[1] Mark Connelly University of Kent, United Kingdom This article will explore the image of the Royal Navy’s battleships in British society between 1920 and 1960. Although much of what follows might be said to apply to Royal Navy as a whole, particularly ‘glamorous’ vessels such as aircraft carriers, cruisers and destroyers, it is the contention of this piece that the Royal Navy’s battleships by virtue of their sheer size and power captured the public imagination more than any other type of warship. The study of the image of the battleship in popular culture provides a significant insight into the atmosphere of Britain helping to reveal and highlight attitudes not just towards the Royal Navy, but also towards politics, the empire and Britain’s role in the world. Christopher M. Bell’s recent work has revealed that the Admiralty had an ambiguous attitude towards propaganda and publicity in the inter-war years. Disdainful of what it regarded as cheap appeals to the popular imagination, at the same time the Admiralty realised that it had to maintain the profile of the Navy. As foreign navies expanded abroad and the RAF tirelessly highlighted its benefits at home, the Admiralty rather reluctantly became involved in publicity activities.[2] Ralph Harrington’s has recently the great importance of HMS Hood to the British people showing that it was far more than a utilitarian and functional piece of equipment.[3] This article seeks to expand Harrington’s thesis by looking at British battleships in general, and place them within the wider framework of British society between 1920 and 1960, the year in which the last British battleship, Vanguard, was scrapped.[4] The article will examine the political and military arguments behind British naval policy in general, and the attitude towards battleships in particular.

  • Call the Hands
    CALL THE HANDS Issue No. 6 March 2017 From the President Welcome to the 6th edition of Call the Hands a newsletter for Society members and the broader Navy Family. If you feel others will enjoy it please pass it on. In many ways this edition is a tribute to the 758 RAN personnel who lost their lives in nine ships during 1942. That year has been described by the Sea Power Centre in a recent Semaphore (Issue 1, 2017) as the RAN’s darkest year. Last month we drew attention to the many significant 75th anniversary commemorative events planned for this year. The Occasional Paper circulated with this edition of Call the Hands provides full details of all vessels lost over the RAN’s 116 year history. 1 March 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the Australian White Ensign. To this end an article on the AWE and the history of its predecessor flags is featured in the Naval Historical Review (VOL 38 No 1, March 2017). It is currently being distributed to members. Another important story in The Review is the history of HDML 1321 which recently sank in Darwin harbour. Readers appreciative of a quality journal, free of advertising, may subscribe by joining the Society. Membership at $45 per annum represents extraordinary value. There are benefits. The Society is very successful at what it does and we are ambitious with a busy plan for 2017 and beyond. To achieve our many and varied tasks we need more volunteers near and remote. Our current team of dedicated regular volunteers is working at capacity.

  • The Economics of Shipbuilding and British Naval Strategy in the Period of Re-Armament
    THE ECONOMICS OF SHIPBUILDING AND BRITISH NAVAL STRATEGY IN THE PERIOD OF RE-ARMAMENT Benn Mikula Department of History McGill University Montreal, Canada March 1988 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ABSTRACT The Economics of Shipbuilding and British Na va I Strategy i nth e Period of Re-armament. Benn Mikula McGill University Department of History March 1988 Historically, strength on the high seas had been essential to Britain's status as a great power. This sea power was based on a strong Royal Navy, merchant marine and, ultimately, a strong shipbuilding industry. Encompassing the years 1918-1942, but laying especial emphasis on the period of rearmament in the late 'thirties, this thesis will examine the impact of shipbuilding on naval policy, and vice versa. Close attention will be paid to the impact of politics and larger economic forces on this relationship. Such an investigation requires exploring the nature of the British shipbuilding industty; its economic fortunes; the economic and military trends of the period; as well as British diplomacy and grand strategy. As such, it is an investigation of that murky area where strategy, economics, and politics meet an area central to the conduct of total war in the twentieth century.

  • From Damage Control to Abandon Ship: the British Admiralty and the Decline of Royal Navy Battleships 1939-1960
    From Damage Control to Abandon Ship: The British Admiralty and the Decline of Royal Navy Battleships 1939-1960 Jason R. Stevenson Candidate for MSc. (by Research) Centre for Second World War Studies Department of History University of Edinburgh Advisors: Dr Paul Addison, Dr David Stafford Masters Dissertation Submitted 13 September 2001 2 Introduction “Naval men do not commit suicide, and battleships are vital to their profession and vital to their comfort.”1 — Admiral Percy Scott, RN. Many histories have been written about the age of the Royal Navy’s steel-hulled battleships; a 100- year era stretching from the 19th century HMS Warrior to the missile-age HMS Vanguard.2 Some texts are concerned with technical innovations and the battleship’s contribution to the maritime tradition of Great Britain.3 Others review the command and control of the Admiralty, debating the complex conflicts and personalities that guided the Royal Navy in war.4 This dissertation does not seek to be a technical study of the British battleship or an Admiralty history of the Second World War. Instead this paper will examine the end of the battleship era by focusing on how a multitude of events and decisions encompassing the years 1939-1960 contributed to its demise. It will tell the story of the Royal Navy’s battleships to answer how and why they became extinct with the final voyage of HMS Vanguard to the ship breakers. In the decades before the Second World War the battleship was frequently sunk in newspaper columns, in political speeches, and by new weapons. On each occasion it survived to fight again.

  • The Royal Navy in the Baltic and Black Sea 1853 – 1856
    THE ROYAL NAVY IN THE BALTIC AND BLACK SEA 1853 – 1856 Prior to the Crimean War, the Admiralty was building up the strength of the Navy ships in the Levant. Turkey had declared war against Russia in October 1853, and prior to Britain and France joining Turkey on 28 March 1854, had dispatched 15 Royal Navy ships, under the command of Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier aboard HMS Westminster, 131 guns, to the Baltic to blockade the Russian Ports in the Gulf of Finland. Baltic Fleet - HMS Westminster Flagship Vice Admiral Sir Charles Napier During the campaigns that followed, 55 Royal Navy ships were involved in the two areas, 28 ships in the Baltic and 27 in the Black Sea. In the Baltic, as well as the blockade, Bomarsund was attacked and captured, and Sveaborg was bombarded and destroyed. 1 BALTIC FLEET Scene of the Naval operations in the Baltic Sea, 1854 – 1855 Whilst in the Black Sea, 27 British and 25 French ships bombarded Sebastopol on 17 October 1854. Prior to the bombardment, a Naval Brigade of 1,050 seamen, landed with 50 heavy guns and took up positions prior to the Artillerymen, their casualties in the actual assault out of 120 men were 14 killed and 46 wounded. Further Naval Brigades were provided to assist the troops, especially at Azoff. The Baltic Medal, was awarded to officers, seamen and marines who had been engaged in the Baltic from March 1854 to August 1855. It would appear that men from over 90 Royal Navy ships received Crimean War medals, from both the Baltic and Black Sea campaigns, this included ships of the line as well as gunboats and mortar vessels.
