What the 1943 annual treated as wartime sea power

The contents connect the 1942 naval record with shipping, air operations, U-boats, coastal craft, official documents, and the relationship between sea and air power.

Notes

The 1943 contents page shows what a wartime naval annual treated as the essential questions of the year. A review and naval chronicle of 1942 sit beside foreign-navies coverage and an essay on shipping and supplies, placing fleet action inside the wider effort to sustain the war. Separate chapters on air operations at sea, the modern conception of sea power, the U-boat war, submarines, and light coastal craft show how air, undersea, escort, and small-craft problems were considered together. A compilation of official United States naval documents and an essay linking sea power with the air weapon broaden the volume beyond a purely British operational narrative.
