  • The Professionalisation of the Royal Navy: 1660-1688
    The Professionalisation of the Royal Navy: 1660-1688 by Samantha Middleton The thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of the University of Portsmouth September 2020 Abstract This thesis analyses the developments made between 1660 and 1688 that contributed towards the Royal Navy becoming a more professionalised organisation. It outlines the impact of individuals and their methods towards achieving professionalisation. The political and financial problems facing the navy before the restoration of the monarchy are also addressed. Biographical case studies of three influential naval reformers; James Stewart, The Duke of York; William Coventry; and Samuel Pepys are used to demonstrate the significant influence that they had on the process of professionalization. This thesis ascertains that although the terminology had not been invented at this stage, the principles of Management Control were implemented by Pepys, Coventry and the Duke of York as a method of organizational professionalisation, identifying examples of performance measurement, rewards systems and the implantation of standard operating procedures. An in-depth analysis of the Duke of York’s instructions for the duties of the Principal Officers demonstrates that the Duke of York introduced enhanced accounting procedures and additional control mechanisms to reduce abuses and increase administrative efficiency. Additionally, a set of professional responsibilities has been created within this thesis for Coventry, whose role as secretary is absent from the instructions. This shows for the first time, that Coventry identified his professional remit as focusing primarily on retrenchment and the reduction of abuses. This contributed towards wider professionalisation.

The subject of the present work, after a protracted consideration of some years, was entered upon by the author with the greatest diffidence, from a consciousness of the uncertainty as to how far it might be possible, by personal application, to obtain the intelligence absolutely necessary to make it acceptable. He was sensible that nothing short of a disposition all but universal in his favour could enable him to give it such a stamp of originality and novelty as might warrant the expectation of ultimate success. The difficulties here intimated, however, have been surmounted even to an extent exceeding his most sanguine anticipation; and in return the author can claim for himself, with the greatest confidence, the merit of not having abused so unexpected and liberal a patronage.

  • The Commonwealth Naval Medals for 1653, by Simon
    THE COMMONWEALTH NAVAL MEDALS FOR 1653, BY SIMON MARVIN LESSEN FOUR papers on Commonwealth naval medals were published in the Numismatic Chronicle during the third quarter of the nineteenth century. Authorship began with Hawkins, followed by Nightingale and Henfrey,1 and the works improved in their detail as more public records were uncovered. Later, Hawkins's Medallic Illustrations (MI) provided classifications and summaries,2 in what proved to be the finale of the subject in the numismatic literature, and where hard rules became established. But they all failed to see Simon's accounts for the 1653-4 medals, which may have been available even before their obscure mention when the Calendars appeared in print, accounts crucial enough to force a dramatic change to the picture. Much more thorough was Mayo, whose book on military medals incorporated descriptions from MI, complete Calendar entries, and illustrations.3 However, final credit must go to the historian, Oppenheim, for using the Simon records,4 reproduced here as Appendix A, and to Dr Capp for finding and researching them for this writer. Except for occasional useful data in sale and exhibition catalogues, other writings that include or refer to the subject have nothing to recommend them. The present paper is concerned with the so-called Blake medals,5 those gold awards authorised for navy officers at the successful conclusion of the last of the three great naval Acknowledgements are to Dr Bernard Capp of the University of this present paper. He is referred to frequently here as Hawkins Warwick for all of his help with the naval history details, 1850, and is not footnoted again.

It explores the impact that different approaches to creative industries policy have on creative practice in two media industries, BBC Scotland and Scottish Screen, and reflects on how each of these bodies articulates its role as a „national‟ institution. BBC Scotland is the Scottish branch of the UK‟s largest public service broadcaster, while Scottish Screen exists on a far smaller scale, to serve the screen industries in Scotland. The thesis examines the role of BBC Scotland in sustaining the creative economy and contributing to the cultural life of Scotland. The study of Scottish Screen examines a key early aim of the agency, that of establishing a national film studio. The work investigates the connections between UK and Scottish levels of creative industries policy in light of the debates over the future of public service broadcasting and the Scottish Executive‟s cultural policy framework. The study outlines how ideas of cultural creativity and its economic significance have developed, charts how these ideas have affected policy debate, and explores the extent to which devolution has affected film and television policy.
