Simon Harley and the Dreadnought Project recover naval careers

Simon Harley and the Dreadnought Project provide specialist research on the people, careers, training, and service backgrounds behind Royal Navy institutions.

Notes

Simon Harley and the Dreadnought Project receive credit for extensive research on Royal Navy personnel from 1854 to 1919. Harley's concentration on individual careers, training, and backgrounds complements the lecture's emphasis on engineering, design, strategy, and procurement. That division of expertise explains why personnel evidence is central to the treatment of reform supporters and opponents. The recommendation also gives viewers a route into career-level naval history when a name or appointment needs deeper investigation.
