Minefields were a means by which Cheonan was torpedoed and sunk by a North Korean specific key areas could be protected against seaborne coastal submarine. The Cheonan broke in half as the attack.

Indeed, a DDG-51 class destroyer or LCS-1 between offense and defense has always had a shifting, Littoral Combat Ship would also have been sunk by a transitory nature, making today's wonder weapon single such hit. tomorrow's helpless target. Yet, regardless of whether During the 1970s and 1980s, undersea warfare was very the target was an equalizer or a wonder weapon, these close to being at the top of most maritime forces' undersea warfare efforts have always run into the same priority list.

  • A HISTORY of GARRISON CALGARY and the MILITARY MUSEUMS of CALGARY
    A HISTORY OF GARRISON CALGARY and The MILITARY MUSEUMS of CALGARY by Terry Thompson 1932-2016 Terry joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1951, where he served primarily as a pilot. Following retirement in 1981 at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, he worked for Westin Hotels, the CBC for the 1984 Papal visit, EXPO 86, the 1988 Winter Olympic Games and the 1990 Goodwill Games. Following these busy years, he worked in real estate and volunteered with the Naval Museum of Alberta. Terry is the author of 'Warriors and the Battle Within'. CHAPTER EIGHT THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY In 2010, the Royal Canadian Navy celebrated its 100th anniversary. Since 1910, men and women in Canada's navy have served with distinction in two World Wars, the Korean conflict, the Gulf Wars, Afghanistan and Libyan war and numerous peace keeping operations since the 1960s. Prior to the 20th Century, the dominions of the British Empire enjoyed naval protection from the Royal Navy, the world's finest sea power. Canadians devoted to the service of their country served with the RN from England to India, and Canada to Australia. British ships patrolled the oceans, protecting commerce and the interests of the British Empire around the globe. In the early 1900s, however, Germany was threatening Great Britain's dominance of the seas, and with the First World War brewing, the ships of the Royal Navy would be required closer to home. The dominions of Great Britain were now being given the option of either providing funding or manpower to the Royal Navy, or forming a naval force of their own.

  • 60 Years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955
    Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 - 2018 Part 4: Europe & Canada 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 4: Europe & Canada. The other parts are: Part 1: Introduction Part 2A: United States - Submarines Part 2B: United States - Surface Ships Part 3A: Russia - Submarines Part 3B: Russia - Surface Ships & Non-propulsion Marine Nuclear Applications 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.
