  • Britain and the Royal Navy by Jeremy Black
    A Post-Imperial Power? Britain and the Royal Navy by Jeremy Black Jeremy Black ([email protected]) is professor of history at University of Exeter and an FPRI senior fellow. His most recent books include Rethinking Military History (Routledge, 2004) and The British Seaborne Empire (Yale University Press, 2004), on which this article is based. or a century and a half, from the Napoleonic Wars to World War II, the British Empire was the greatest power in the world. At the core of that F power was the Royal Navy, the greatest and most advanced naval force in the world. For decades, the distinctive nature, the power and the glory, of the empire and the Royal Navy shaped the character and provided the identity of the British nation. Today, the British Empire seems to be only a memory, and even the Royal Navy sometimes can appear to be only an auxiliary of the U.S. Navy. The British nation itself may be dissolving into its preexisting and fundamental English, Scottish, and even Welsh parts. But British power and the Royal Navy, and particularly that navy’s power projection, still figure in world affairs. Properly understood, they could also continue to provide an important component of British national identity. The Distinctive Maritime Character of the British Empire The relationship between Britain and its empire always differed from that of other European states with theirs, for a number of reasons. First, the limited authority and power of government within Britain greatly affected the character of British imperialism, especially, but not only, in the case of colonies that received a large number of British settlers.

Cordesman Khalid R. Al -Rodhan Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy Visiting Fellow [email protected] [email protected] Working Draft for Review and Comments Revised: June 28, 2006 Cordesman & Al -Rodhan: The Gulf Military Forces in an Era of Asymmetric Wars Oman 6/28/06 Page 2 In troduction Oman is a significant military power by Gulf standards, although its strength lies more in the quality of its military manpower and training than its equipment strength and quality. It also occupies a unique strategic location in the lower Gulf. As Map 1 shows, Oman controls the Mussandam Peninsula, and its waters include the main shipping and tanker routes that move in and out of the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz. Its base at Goat Island is almost directly opposite of Iran’s base and port a t Bahdar Abbas. Oman would almost certainly play a major role in any confrontation or clash between Iran and the Southern Gulf states. The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most important oil chokepoint, and the US Energy Information agency reports that some 17 million barrels of oil a day move through its shipping channels. These consist of 2 -mile wide channels for inbound and outbound tanker traffic, as well as a 2 -mile wide buffer zone.

SECURITY POLICY OBJECTIVES The principal objective of Norwegian security policy is to safeguard and promote national security policy interests. This is best achieved by contributing to peace, security and stability both in areas adjacent to Norway and in the wider world. Nationally Norway must be in a position to uphold its sovereignty and sove- reign rights and to exercise authority in order to safeguard our interests. At the same time, the progress of globalisation means that geo- graphical distance is no longer a determining factor for potential threats to our security.

  • Introductions to Heritage Assets: Ships and Boats: 1840 to 1950
    Ships and Boats: 1840-1950 Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Many of these are what might be thought of as ‘new heritage’, that is they date from after the Second World War. This overview looks at ships and boats built after 1840. Principally drawing on archaeological, technological and historical sources, it describes vessels used on English inland and coastal waters and in the open sea. The evidence of wrecks and abandoned vessels is drawn on, as well as extant vessels. Also included is the early development of submarines. This guidance note has been written by Mark Dunkley and edited by Paul Stamper. It is one is of several guidance documents that can be accessed at HistoricEngland.org.uk/listing/selection-criteria/listing-selection/ihas-buildings/ First published by English Heritage September 2012.

  • Royal Yachts: Their Role Over 300 Years and Their Future
    Royal Yachts: their role over 300 years and their future Noel Cox (1997) 12 Navy Today 10-11 The Royal Yacht Britannia was launched by the Queen on 16 April 1953 amid talk of a new Elizabethan era. Certainly the concept of royal yachts looked backwards to a glorious past. At a time of post-war austerity, the launch of a brand new royal yacht was a powerful symbol of a resurgent Britain. The Britannia was the seventy-fifth royal yacht since the reign of King Charles II. However, it was only in the nineteenth century that royal yachts began to be used on a large scale for royal diplomacy, rather than as private sporting and recreational vessels. A former coastal trader, the brig Surprise, in which King Charles II had fled to France to escape his enemies, was commissioned after the Restoration as a fifth rate line of battle ship, and permanently moored on the Thames, as the Royal Escape. This vessel has been called the first royal yacht. The expression yacht was used at this time for a small ship dedicated neither to commerce nor to war, but existing simply for pleasure. The first true royal yacht was however the Mary, a Dutch-built ship used mostly as an "advice boat", carrying orders and dispatches for other fighting ships, when not used by the king as a pleasure boat. It was in fact King Charles II and his brother, James Duke of York (later King James II) who invented the sport of yacht racing. Over the next one hundred and fifty years the royal yachts grew in size, until 1817, when the 325 tonne Royal George was built for the Prince Regent (later King George IV).

  • Chronological Appendix: Seventy Years of Gunboat Diplomacy
    Chronological Appendix: Seventy Years of Gunboat Diplomacy This Chronological Appendix is not a complete list of all the examples of the application of limited naval force during the last seventy years; that would need a separate book. The instances listed below have been chosen to show the different ways in which, year by year, many governments have employed this expedient in various parts of the world. Because it is meant to illustrate the range of gunboat diplomacy, and to avoid tedious repetition, the choice made does not reflect the actual distribution of gunboat diplomacy in parti­ cular years or geographical areas. The number of incidents in China during the late 1920s, for instance, was far larger than the selection included here. This chronology does not, therefore, present a historically or geographically representative cross-section of the actual employment of gunboat diplomacy during the last seventy years, and cannot be used as a basis for mathematical conjectures. The choice of examples has been guided by the definition reached in Chapter 1: gunboat diplomacy is the use or threat of limited naval force, otherwise than as an act of war, in order to secure advantage or to avert loss, either in the furtherance of an international dispute or else against foreign nationals within the territory or the jurisdiction of their own state. Naval action in time of war has been excluded, unless this took place against allies or neutrals, and actions resulting in war (whether declared or not) have only been quoted as examples of failure - and on the assumption that only limited force was originally intended.

  • OE Threat Assessment: Oman
    Dec 2012 OE Threat Assessment: Oman TRADOC G-2 Intelligence Support Activity (TRISA) Complex Operational Environment and Threat Integration Directorate (CTID) [Type the author name] United States Army 6/1/2012 OE Threat Assessment: Oman Introduction Oman is a strategically important country in the Middle East and a key ally of the United States in the region. It is located on the southeast coast of the Arabian Peninsula, and bordered by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), on the northwest, Saudi Arabia on the west, and Yemen on the southwest. The country’s strategic importance is magnified by a geographically separate portion of its territory that lies on the tip of the Musandam Peninsula, directly across the Strait of Hormuz from Iran. An estimated 40% of the crude oil exported by Middle Eastern countries passes through this major shipping lane. Although Oman’s diplomatic relations with the United States date to the early 1830s, prior to 1970 it was one of the most isolated and underdeveloped countries in the region. That year, with the blessing of the United Kingdom (UK), the current ruler, Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said, deposed his father in a bloodless coup, which hindsight has shown to be a quantum leap in facilitating Oman’s modernization and opening the country to the outside world. Political Oman is a hereditary monarchy in which most of the decision-making authority resides in the head of state, Sultan Qaboos, who has led the country since 1970. Although briefly married in the 1970s, the union produced no children, so succession to the throne and continuity in government remain matters of concern to many Omanis.
