The Next Dreadnought Revolution
THE NEXT DREADNOUGHT REVOLUTION BY DAVID MURRIN 15TH MARCH 2021 WWW.DAVIDMURRIN.CO.UK PART 1: CURRENT DESIGN TRENDS AND LIMITATIONS THE NEXT DREADNOUGHT REVOLUTION THE NEXT DREADNOUGHT REVOLUTION HISTORY DECODED TO INFORM THE FUTURE PART 1: CURRENT DESIGN TRENDS AND LIMITATIONS BY ANALYSING PAST PATTERNS WE CAN PREDICT FORTHCOMING EVENTS AND TRENDS 1.0 TIME FOR A NEW DREADNOUGHT-TYPE INNOVATION IN WARSHIP DESIGN In a time when battleships usually took several years to build, the construction and launch in 1906 of HMS Dreadnought in less than 12 months was a demonstration of British military intention and industrial might. But most critically, her all big gun design and steam turbines made every ship built before that point obsolete. The geostrategic consequences were enormous as it gave Germany a window to attempt to challenge for control of the world’s oceans and accelerated the British-German naval arms’ race to astronomical levels. Today we are witnessing a new and fourth great industrial arms’ race, catalysed by China’s hegemonic ambitions as it seeks to outbuild America and its allies to create a blue-water navy that can dominate the world’s oceans. In this similar environment, perhaps it is time to consider the emergence of a new class of Dreadnought destroyers, which I have named Dominators, that can control large areas of ocean both below and above it. 1.1 DEDICATED MISSION DESTROYERS AND FRIGATES This ship design concept of dedicated mission escorts is favoured by all European navies and the Royal Navy is an excellent specific example of using this concept in its escort fleet. -
Lasers 50Th Aw
Lasers in our lives 50 years of impact Lasers in our lives 50 years of impact The information in this brochure is just a sample of the significant social and economic impact that lasers have had on our lives over the past 50 years. Because of the collaborative nature of research many of the experiments, projects, R&D programmes, and applications that have led to the ubiquitous nature of lasers, have been joint efforts between research councils, academia and industry. The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), through its Central Laser Facility based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), continues to play a leading role in the development of lasers and operation of high- power laser facilities. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is also a key funder of laser research and technology in the UK. This brochure was co-funded by STFC and EPSRC. Project Manager: Connor Curtis, STFC Design and layout: Ampersand Design Production: STFC Media Services Introduction What are lasers? Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation 1 Lasers are concentrated A brief history Introduction beams of electromagnetic The conception of the laser traces back to a theory proposed by radiation (light) travelling in Albert Einstein in 1917. a particular direction. It was Einstein’s theoretical understanding of the interactions between light and matter that paved the way for the first laser. However, it was not until The defining properties of laser 1960 that the first working optical ruby laser was built by Theodore light are that the light waves are Maiman. Over the past 50 years, the laser has evolved considerably, and coherent (all travelling in harmony many new varieties have been developed. -

Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018 Part 2A: United States - Submarines
Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018 Part 2A: United States - Submarines Peter Lobner July 2018 1 Foreword In 2015, I compiled the first edition of this resource document to support a presentation I made in August 2015 to The Lyncean Group of San Diego (www.lynceans.org) commemorating the 60th anniversary of the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by USS Nautilus on 17 January 1955. That presentation to the Lyncean Group, “60 years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955 – 2015,” was my attempt to tell a complex story, starting from the early origins of the US Navy’s interest in marine nuclear propulsion in 1939, resetting the clock on 17 January 1955 with USS Nautilus’ historic first voyage, and then tracing the development and exploitation of marine nuclear power over the next 60 years in a remarkable variety of military and civilian vessels created by eight nations. In July 2018, I finished a complete update of the resource document and changed the title to, “Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018.” What you have here is Part 2A: United States - Submarines. The other parts are: Part 1: Introduction Part 2B: United States - Surface Ships Part 3A: Russia - Submarines Part 3B: Russia - Surface Ships & Non-propulsion Marine Nuclear Applications Part 4: Europe & Canada Part 5: China, India, Japan and Other Nations Part 6: Arctic Operations 2 Foreword This resource document was compiled from unclassified, open sources in the public domain. I acknowledge the great amount of work done by others who have published material in print or posted information on the internet pertaining to international marine nuclear propulsion programs, naval and civilian nuclear powered vessels, naval weapons systems, and other marine nuclear applications.
