Richard Harding's edited collection gathers specialist studies of Royal Navy innovation between 1930 and 2000. Its contributors examine distinct technical, organizational, and policy problems instead of following a single chronological narrative. Norman Friedman's chapter on naval electronics shows the collection's range. Anthony Gorst's CVA-01 chapter focuses on the interaction between operational ambition, ship design, and defence policy.
