Both professional and civilian followers of recent defence history are not always able to equate their knowledge of equipment and operational deployment to the overall reason why national military forces and defence pacts are the size they are, follow the policies they do and formulate the strategies they create. This study of post-war changes seeks to enable readers to add their existing awareness to a better understanding of world naval force evolution.

Military Lessons of the Falkland Islands War: Views from the United States

Contains analyses of the war by several prominent U.S. experts on national security affairs. Their observations reflect the continuing debate on such key issues in U.S. defence planning - and in Soviet defence planning as well - as the controversy over large versus small carriers, the advantages and dis advantages of a diesel-versus nuclear-powered submarine fleet, the effectiveness of the Harrier-type aircraft, the influence of high technology on amphibious warfare, and the ever increasing use of 'smart' weapons by all-purpose convectional armed forces.

The Soviet Navy: Strengths And Liabilities

Since Admiral Sergei G. Gorshkov was appointed to the office of commander in chief of the Soviet Navy in 1956, the Soviet Union has made a massive investment in naval construction, training, and operations. As a result, the Soviet Navy has grown from a coastal defense force to one of the world's two strongest navies. This book offers a detailed assessment of every major aspect of the Soviet Navy, from fleet structure and training facilities to command and control procedures and warfare and intelligence collection capabilities.
