It links foreign navies and relative strength with maritime industry, surveying, the making of seamen, Fleet Air Arm progress, trade defense, and transatlantic aviation. Essays on home defense and commerce protection place fleet operations inside the larger problem of keeping Britain supplied. A full reference section makes those essays usable as starting points for deeper research.
