Austro-Hungarian Battleships 1914-18by Paul Wright Ryan Noppen
The nineteenth century saw the assertion of Habsburg sea power over the Adriatic from the Austrian inheritance of the Venetian fleet in 1797 to Rear Admiral Wilhelm von Tegetthoff's stunning victory over a superior Italian force at the Battle of Lissa in 1866 to the gradual creation of a modern battle fleet beginning in the 1890s. Austria-Hungary did not have an overseas empire; its empire lay within its own boundaries and the primary purpose of its navy until the beginning of the twentieth century was the defense of its coastline. As its merchant marine dramatically grew in the late nineteenth century, Austro-Hungarian admirals believed that the navy should take a more proactive policy of defense, defending not only the coastline but the greater Adriatic and even the Mediterranean waters which the empire's merchant ships plied. The 1890s saw the beginning of a series of naval building programs that would create a well-balanced modern fleet. Cruisers were constructed for the protection of overseas trade and for "showing the flag" but the decisive projection of Austria-Hungary's commitment to control the Adriatic was the construction of a force of modern battleships. Compared to the British, French, Germans, and even Italians, the Austro-Hungarians were relative latecomers to the design and construction of battleships. Austro-Hungarian naval policy tended to be reactionary rather than proactive; its admirals closely followed Italian naval developments and sought appropriate countermeasures even though the two nations were tenuously bound together by the Triple Alliance pact of 1882. Despite the naval arms race throughout Europe at the time, the navy had difficulty obtaining funds for new ships as the Hungarian government was reluctant to fund a fleet that principally served the maritime interests of the ethnically German portion of the empire. The difficulties experienced in battleship funding and construction mirrored the political difficulties and ethnic rivalries within the empire. Nevertheless by August of 1914, the Austro-Hungarian fleet had a force of nine battleships, three pre-dreadnoughts, and one dreadnought (three more in the final stages of construction). This book will survey the five classes of Austro-Hungarian battleships in service during the First World War.
Axis Midget Submarinesby Paul Wright Mark Stille
During World War II, Germany, Japan, and Italy built approximately 2,000 small, inherently stealthy, naval craft to perform special operations and conventional naval missions. Much more numerous and more technically advanced than their Allied counterparts, they saw service worldwide, operating in the Pacific, Mediterranean, Black Sea, Indian Ocean, North Sea, and the English channel. Manned by courageous crews, these vessels made daring attacks on Allied ships in heavily protected anchorages using torpedoes and mines. Most notable were attacks against Gibraltar - launched from an Italian cargo vessel interred in nearby neutral Spain that had been converted into a clandestine support base and equipped with an underwater hatch - and Pearl Harbor. They were used against shipping in coastal waters and, near the end of the war, in desperate attempts to offset their opponents' overwhelming naval superiority during the US advance across the Pacific and the Allied amphibious landings in France and Italy. This volume will detail the history, weapons, and operations of German, Japanese, and Italian midget submarines.
The Bismarck 1941by Paul Wright Angus Konstam
The breakout of the German battleship Bismarck into the North Atlantic in May 1941 was one of the most dramatic naval episodes of World War II (1939-1945). It took place at a time when the resources of the Royal Navy were stretched thinly, and the British Home Fleet were hard pressed to counter this powerful German warship, which was vaunted as the most powerful battleship in the world. For nine days she became the most sought-after vessel afloat, as the Home Fleet and Force H, based in Gibraltar, combed the seas in search of her. After days of fruitless searching, the lone German warship was spotted by a reconnaissance aircraft some 300 miles to the south-west of Ireland. Admiral Tovey, who commanded the Home Fleet from his flagship HMS Rodney ordered his warships to intercept her, and a great naval race began, with the Bismarck speeding towards the safety of the French ports, and the British doing their utmost to stop her.Despite overwhelming odds, with most Home Fleet craft too far away to intercept the German ship's flight to France, the Royal Navy ultimately managed to locate, damage and ultimately sink the great German battleship. In this new addition to Osprey's Campaign series, author Angus Konstam sheds new light on this race-to-the-finish, detailing the original plans, the British efforts to locate and damage the Bismarck, the Bismarck's extensive armor systems and her ultimate defeat in a highly illustrated format.
British Battlecruiser vs German Battlecruiserby Paul Wright Mark Stille
Battles at Dogger Bank and Jutland revealed critical firepower, armor, and speed differences in Royal Navy and Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial German Navy) Battlecruiser designs.Fast-moving and formidably armed, the battlecruisers of the British and German navies first encountered one another in 1915 at Dogger Bank and in the following year clashed near Jutland in the biggest battleship action of all time. In the decade before World War I Britain and Germany were locked in a naval arms race that saw the advent of first the revolutionary dreadnought, the powerful, fast-moving battleship that rendered earlier designs obsolete, and then an entirely new kind of vessel - the battlecruiser. The brainchild of the visionary British admiral John 'Jacky' Fisher, the battlecruiser was designed to operate at long range in 'flying squadrons', using its superior speed and powerful armament to hunt, outmanoeuvre and destroy any opponent. The penalty paid to reach higher speeds was a relative lack of armour, but Fisher believed that 'speed equals protection'. By 1914 the British had ten battlecruisers in service and they proved their worth when two battlecruisers, Invincible and Inflexible, sank the German armoured cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau off the Falklands in December 1914.Based on a divergent design philosophy that emphasised protection over firepower, the Germans' battlecruisers numbered six by January 1915, when the rival battlecruisers first clashed at Dogger Bank in the North Sea. By this time the British battlecruisers had been given a new role - to locate the enemy fleet. Five British battlecruisers accompanied by other vessels intercepted and pursued a German force including three battlecruisers; although the battle was a British tactical victory with neither side losing any of its battlecruisers, the differences in the designs of the British and German ships were already apparent. The two sides responded very differently to this first clash; while the Germans improved their ammunition-handling procedures to lessen the risk of disabling explosions, the British drew the opposite lesson and stockpiled ammunition in an effort to improve their rate of fire, rendering their battlecruisers more vulnerable. The British also failed to improve the quality of their ammunition, which had often failed to penetrate the German ships' armour.These differences were highlighted more starkly during the battle of Jutland in May 1916. Of the nine British battlecruisers committed, three were destroyed, all by their German counterparts. Five German battlecruisers were present, and of these, only one was sunk and the remainder damaged. The limitations of some of the British battlecruisers' fire-control systems, range-finders and ammunition quality were made clear; the Germans not only found the range more quickly, but spread their fire more effectively, and the German battlecruisers' superior protection meant that despite being severely mauled, all but one were able to evade the British fleet at the close of the battle. British communication was poor, with British crews relying on ship-to-ship flag and lamp signals even though wireless communication was available. Even so, both sides claimed victory and the controversy continues to this day.
British Battleships 1914-18 (1)by Paul Wright Angus Konstam
The launch of HMS Dreadnought in 1906 changed the face of naval warfare. This revolutionary new battleship was in a league of her own, capable of taking on any two "pre-dreadnought" battleships in a straight fight. A naval arms race followed between Britain and Germany, as both countries hurriedly built a fleet of these powerful new warships. This race led inexorably to the outbreak of a world war. During World War I these dreadnoughts formed the backbone of the British Grand Fleet. In May 1916, these battleships put to sea to intercept their counterparts in the German High Seas fleet. The result was the battle of Jutland, a bruising high-stakes encounter where the design and construction of Britain's revolutionary new battleships was put to the test. The first half-dozen dreadnoughts were all improvements of the basic Dreadnought design, all carrying ten 12-inch guns. It was only in 1911, with the launch of HMS Neptune that the layout of this powerful armament was altered as a result of practical experience. Two more versions of the Neptune entered service later that same year. These nine improved dreadnoughts formed the core of the British High Seas Fleet. They would soon, however, be outclassed by a new breed of "super dreadnoughts", the subject of the second volume in this two-part story. While these new battleships carried larger 13.5-inch guns, they proved less successful as all-round battleships than their more lightly-armed predecessors. Naval architects were slowly learning that with modern battleships, design involved a compromise between firepower, protection and speed. One last 12-inch gun dreadnought entered service in 1914, when a seven turret battleship being built for the Turks was commandeered by the Royal Navy, and re-named HMS Agincourt. This New Vanguard title, the first of two covering these famous warships will uncover the full story of the British battleships of World War I. The book will look at their revolutionary design, the 12-inch guns that provided them with their firepower, and the way these guns were fired in anger.
British Battleships 1939-45 (1)by Tony Bryan Paul Wright Angus Konstam
With the outbreak of World War II, Britain's Royal Navy and her fleet of battleships would be at the forefront of her defence. Yet from a fleet of 12 battleships, ten were already over 20 years old, venerable veterans of World War I. Extensive modifications throughout the 1930s allowed these ships to perform a vital service throughout the six long years of conflict, and further improvements made during the course of the war enabled them to hold their own against their German and Italian counterparts. This title offers a comprehensive review of the development of these British battleships from their initial commissioning to their peacetime modifications and wartime service. Detailed descriptions of the main armament of each ship will offer further analysis of individual battleships' effectiveness, discussing how the guns were manned when engaging the enemy. Describing HMS Warspite during the battle of Matapan in 1941, the author details how this British battleship, together with other Royal Navy and Australian vessels, defeated the might of the Italian navy so that they never again threatened Allied fleets within the Mediterranean. With specially commissioned artwork and a dramatic retelling of key battleship engagements, this book will highlight what it was like on board for the sailors who risked their lives on the high seas.
British Destroyers 1892-1918by Paul Wright Jim Crossley
This book recounts the history of the first destroyers of the Royal Navy, which revolutionised this service and changed the way war was fought at sea. Moreover, between 1892, when the first destroyers were laid down, and 1918 destroyers evolved radically from 27 knot, 250-ton ships into 35 knot, 1,530-ton ships. All these ships were involved in some form during World War I; the smaller, original destroyers in an auxiliary support role and the newer larger destroyers at some of the greatest sea battles of the war. Indeed, this book will highlight the role destroyers played in the North Sea during the crucial battles to control the Heliogoland Bight as well as the major fleet action at the battle of Jutland in 1916. Complete with a detailed description of the technical evolution of each class of destroyer from the 27-knotters to the Tribal and Marksman classes, this book offers a complete overview of the vessels that helped to maintain Britain's supremacy at sea.
British Heavy Cruisers 1939-45by Paul Wright Angus Konstam
The idea of a heavy cruiser emerged in the aftermath of the First World War, and was closely linked to the limits set by the inter-war Washington Treaty on naval armament. The pre-Great War concept of armoured cruisers had been abandoned, but in their stead the Admiralty saw a place for powerful cruisers, able to patrol the sea lanes of the British Empire, and which were well-enough armed that they could destroy enemy commerce cruisers of the kind used by the Germans in the last war.The result was a group of British warships which were collectively known as the "Washington Treaty Cruisers", which did everything the Admiralty wanted, but which fitted within the limits imposed by the Washington Treaty - an armament of 8-inch guns, and a displacement of less than 10,000 tons. These impressive cruisers were high-sided, spacious and stately - perfect peacetime ambassadors for British power. In war they also packed a considerable punch. While they all carried powerful 8-inch guns, they were also given an effective armoured belt, making them proof against any foreign cruisers then in service. During the Second World War the Royal Navy's thirteen heavy cruisers saw service in every theatre of war, whether taking part in major sea battles in the Mediterranean, delivering the coup de grace to the Bismarck in the North Atlantic, or enduring the unwanted attention of kamikaze pilots in the Pacific.
British Light Cruisers 1939-45by Paul Wright Angus Konstam
Cruisers became Britain's essential vessel for protecting battleships, carriers, and convoys versus Japanese, Italian, and Nazi German commerce raiders, submarines, aircraft, and destroyers. The light cruiser was a natural development of the sailing frigate - a fast multi-purpose warship that could patrol the sea lanes, protect convoys and scout for enemy battle fleets. By the inter-war period the need for this type of ship was even more important, given the increasing need for protection from aircraft, and the need to screen the fleet from submarines or destroyers. During the 1930's a new group of British light cruisers were commissioned, designed to replace an earlier generation of warships designed during the Great War. These new ships were sleek, fast, and relied on the 6-inch gun - a tried and tested weapon that combined hitting power with a high rate of fire. A second generation of light cruisers followed during the late 1930's, armed with twelve 6-inch guns apiece. One of these - HMS Belfast - is still afloat today. Finally the threat posed by German aircraft led to the conversion of some older warships into anti-aircraft cruisers - a stopgap measure until a new class of these powerful and much-needed warships entered service. By this time wartime experience had shown that the British light cruiser was one of the most versatile types of ship in the Royal Navy, able to protect other warships, bombard enemy shores, guard life-saving convoys and intercept and destroy enemy warships. These were truly the workhorses of the wartime Royal Navy. While the battleships and carriers grabbed the headlines, these sleek, elegant warships quietly got on with the job of securing control of the seas.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Commonwealth Cruisers 1939-45by Paul Wright Angus Konstam
In the early 20th century Britain's largest colonies established their own small naval presence, and their ships fought alongside the Royal Navy during World War I. These fleets were expanded slightly during the inter-war years, and in 1939 the Royal Australian Navy, the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal New Zealand Navy willingly joined the fight on behalf of the British Commonwealth. For the most part these small navies consisted of a few cruisers and destroyers, designed to protect territorial waters and to protect local sea lanes. However, these warships and their crews soon found themselves involved in a global war, and consequently were called upon to fight wherever they were needed, against the Germans, the Italians and the Japanese. At the start of the war the Royal Australian Navy was the largest of these Commonwealth navies, but the problems of supplying its wartime needs from the far side of the world hindered its expansion. From late 1941 it also found itself fighting a very different war from the British, and found itself working closely with the US Navy to contain the Japanese in the Pacific. Here it was supported by the smaller Royal New Zealand Navy - while both of these Commonwealth fleets had fought with distinction in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, it was in the Pacific Theater that they would make their mark. Geography meant that the Royal Canadian Navy was thrust into the forefront of the Battle of the Atlantic, and while its fleet expanded rapidly during the war, its sailors also earned a reputation for commitment, professionalism and cheerfulness which helped overcome many of the tribulations of this gruelling naval campaign. The RCN ended the war as the largest of these three Commonwealth fleets. This book tells the story of these small cruiser forces, and the men who served the Allied cause so well during the long and brutal war at sea.
German Battleships 1914-18 (2)by Paul Wright Gary Staff
Supported by official documents, personal accounts, official drawings and specially commissioned artwork, this volume is an enlightening history of the key classes of Kaiser, K¿nig and Bayern that formed the backbone of the German Imperial Navy throughout World War I. It details the technological revolution that had taken place to ensure the building of these largest dreadnought classes, in particular the developments in size and armament as well as the steps taken to prevent battle damage as Germany readied herself for war. This account of design and technology is supplemented by individual ship histories detailing combat experience complete with first-hand accounts. The specially commissioned artwork also brings this history to life with a cutaway recreation of the fleet's flagship and the Battle of Moon Sound in the Baltic in 1917 where the battleship Konig caused the destruction of the Russian battleship Slava.
German Commerce Raiders 1914-18by Paul Wright Ryan Noppen
This is the story of Germany's commerce raiders of World War I, the surface ships that were supposed to starve the British Isles of the vast cargoes of vital resources being shipped from the furthest reaches of the Empire. To that end pre-war German naval strategists allocated a number of cruisers and armed, fast ocean liners, as well as a complex and globe-spanning supply network to support them - known as the Etappe network. This book, drawing on technical illustrations and the author's exhaustive research, explains the often overlooked role that the commerce raiders played in World War I. Whilst exploring the design and development of the ships, it also describes their operational history, how they tied up a disproportionate amount of the British fleet on lengthy pursuits, and how certain raiders such as the SMS Emden were able to wreak havoc across the oceans.
Great Lakes Warships 1812-1815by Paul Wright Mark Lardas
When war broke out in 1812, neither the United States Navy nor the Royal Navy had more than a token force on the Great Lakes. However, once the shooting started, it sparked a ship-building arms race that continued throughout the war. This book examines the design and development of the warships built upon the lakes during the war, emphasizing their differences from their salt-water contemporaries. It then goes onto cover their operational use as they were pitted against each other in a number of clashes on the lakes that often saws ships captured, re-crewed, and thrown back against their pervious owners. Released in 2012 to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the outbreak of the war, this is a timely look at a small, freshwater naval war.
Imperial Japanese Navy Destroyers 1919-45 (1)by Paul Wright Mark Stille
During the Pacific War, arguably the most successful component of the Imperial Japanese Fleet was its destroyer force. These ships were generally larger than their Allied counterparts and were better armed in most cases. Armed with a large, long-range torpedo (eventually called Long Lance by the Allies), these ships proved themselves as formidable opponents. In the first part of the war, Japanese destroyers were instrumental in an unbroken string of Japanese victories. However, it was not until the Guadalcanal campaign that these ships fully demonstrated their power. In a series of night actions, these ships devastated Allied task forces with a number of daring night attacks using their deadly torpedoes. This volume will detail the history, weapons and tactics of the Japanese destroyers built before the war. This includes the famous Fubuki class (called "Special Type" by the Japanese, which were, when completed in the late 1920's, the most powerful class of destroyers in the world. This design forced all other major navies to follow suite and provided the basic design for the next many classes of Imperial Navy destroyers. This book will also cover the three classes built before the Special Type which were based on a German World War I design as well as two classes built after the advent of the Special Type. All of these ships had a rich history as they fought from the first battles of the Pacific War up until the very end when several accompanied the superbattleship Yamato on her death sortie. The final part of the book will be an analysis of the destroyer designs covered in the book which will include an examination of their strengths and weaknesses. The success (or lack of success) of these designs will be discussed and they will be compared to comparable Allied destroyer designs.
Imperial Japanese Navy Heavy Cruisers 1941-45by Paul Wright Mark Stille
Designed with little more than a passing nod to the international naval treaties of the inter-war period, the Imperial Japanese Navy's heavy cruisers were fast and heavily armed. Like the other vessels of the Japanese Navy, the heavy cruisers were technologically superior to and far more innovative than their Allied rivals, whom they met in many of the major Pacific Theatre battles, including Midway and Leyte Gulf. Mark Stille continues his study of the IJN of WWII with this fascinating topic, addressing the design and development of all 18 ships in the six heavy cruiser classes, from pre-war construction and mid-war alterations, to their operational histories and eventual fates.
Imperial Japanese Navy Light Cruisers 1941-45by Paul Wright Mark Stille
Like their heavy cruiser brethren, the light cruisers built by the Imperial Japanese Navy in the build-up to WWII paid little more than lip service to the international naval treaties that were intended to keep the naval powers on a level playing field. The eight classes of light cruiser developed by the IJN were fast, well-armed, and technologically superior to the fleets the Allied powers could bring to bear. Serving with distinction across the Pacific Theatre, the IJN's light cruisers were committed to such actions as Midway and Leyte Gulf. Mark Stille continues Osprey's coverage of the IJN of WWII, with this concise and complete study of all 25 ships of the 8 light cruisers classes, from their design and development through to their ultimate fates. Detailed Osprey artwork and rare period photographs from the Fukui collection held in Kure, Japan, illustrate this discussion and provide great visual references for some of the most advanced naval vessels of WWII.
Italian Battleships of World War IIby Paul Wright Mark Stille
Often overlooked as a naval power of WWII, Italy's Regia Marina was, upon the declaration of war against France, the fourth largest navy in the world. Despite its numbers, the Italian fleet was made up of largely obsolete vessels, none being equipped with radar, and had a reputation for having inadequately-trained crews. Added to these drawbacks, the Italian commanders did not enjoy the discretion of command at sea that their counterparts in the service of other nations did, being directed closely by the Supermarina (Italian Naval Headquarters). Despite these obstacles, and the heavy losses inflicted upon the fleet by the Royal Navy while in harbour at Taranto, the battleships of the Italian Navy enjoyed a good reputation for being well-designed, and served with courage and determination at Punto Stilo/Calabria, Sirte, Cape Spartivento, and Cape Matapan. Mark Stille details, with the aid of many stunning photographs, including several from the Italian Navy's own archives, the battleships of one of the forgotten navies of WWII.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carriersby Brad Elward Paul Wright
The Nimitz class aircraft carrier is the ultimate symbol of the United States superpower status. A true behemoth, this is an unsurpassed weapons platform that overshadows all of its nearest rivals. A history of the largest aircraft carriers in the world, with runways over 300 meters long, this book looks at the development and deployment of the nuclear-powered Nimitz class aircraft carriers from 1975 when the USS Nimitz, the lead ship of the class, was commissioned, to the present day.All of the class are still operational and the tenth and last of the class, the USS George H. W. Bush, was commissioned in 2009. Here, Brad Elward provides a detailed overview of their design and development, highlighting their unique features, from jet blast deflectors to cutting edge radar systems, and a history of the Nimitz class in service, from deployment in the Gulf during Operation Desert Storm, through to the enforcement of the no fly zone over Bosnia.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Ottoman Navy Warships 1914-18by Paul Wright Ryan Noppen
At the start of the 20th century the Ottoman Navy was a shadow of its former might, a reflection of the empire as a whole - the "Sick Man of Europe". Years of defeat, nepotism, and neglect had left the Ottoman Navy with a mix of obsolete vessels, whilst the list of prospective enemies was ever-growing. An increasing Russian naval presence in the Black Sea and the alarming emergence of Italy and Greece as regional Naval powers proved beyond all doubt that intensive modernization was essential, indeed, the fate of the Empire as a naval power depended on it. So the Ottoman Navy looked to the ultimate naval weapon of the age, the dreadnought battleship, two of which were ordered from the British with extreme alacrity. But politics intervened, and a succession of events culminated in the Ottoman Navy fielding a modern German battlecruiser and state-of-the-art light cruiser instead - with dramatic consequences. In this meticulous study, Ryan Noppen presents a fresh appraisal of the technical aspects and operations of the warships of the Ottoman Navy in World War I. It is the first work of its kind in the English language - produced with a wealth of rare material with the cooperation of the Turkish Consulate and Navy. Packed with precise technical specifications, revealing illustrations and exhaustive research, this is an essential guide to a crucial chapter in the Aegean arms raceFrom the Trade Paperback edition.

Prison Profiteersby Paul Wright Tara Herivel
In Prison Profiteers, co-editors Tara Herivel and Paul Wright "follow the money to an astonishing constellation of prison administrators and politicians working in collusion with private parties to maximize profits" (Publishers Weekly). From investment banks, guard unions, and the makers of Taser stun guns to health care providers, telephone companies, and the U.S. military (which relies heavily on prison labor), this network of perversely motivated interests has turned the imprisonment of one out of every 135 Americans into a lucrative business.Called "an essential read for anyone who wants to understand what's gone wrong with criminal justice in the United States" by ACLU National Prison Project director Elizabeth Alexander, this incisive and deftly researched volume shows how billions of tax dollars designated for the public good end up lining the pockets of those private enterprises dedicated to keeping prisons packed."An important analysis of a troubling social trend" (Booklist ) that is sure to inform and outrage any concerned citizen, Prison Profiteers reframes the conversation by exposing those who stand to profit from the imprisonment of millions of Americans.
US Cold War Aircraft Carriersby Brad Elward Paul Wright
Supercarriers became the ultimate in aircraft carrier design after World War II. Naval aviation allows fleets to project mobile power across vast distances, and these floating cities epitomize this mission design. The Forrestal class (Forrestal, CV-59; Saratoga, CV-60; Ranger, CV-61 and Independence, CV-62) was the first completed class of US Navy supercarriers, so-named for their 25 percent size increase over the World War II-era carriers such as the Midway class, and the strength of their air wings (80-100 aircraft, compared to 65-75 for the Midway, and fewer than 50 for the Essex class). Design-wise, the Forrestals were a huge improvement over their predecessors, being more stable and comfortable, while maintaining advancements such as the armored flight decks that had been introduced with the Midway. The Kitty Hawk class was an improvement on the Forrestal-class designs, and four were built in the 1960s - Kitty Hawk (CV-63), Constellation (CV-64), America (CV-66) and John F. Kennedy (CV-67). These were even longer than the Forrestals, and fitted with advanced defensive weapons systems and an improved elevator layout. John F. Kennedy, while originally intended as one of the Kitty Hawk class, received so many modifications during construction that she essentially formed her own class, and was originally planned to become the US Navy's first nuclear-powered carrier. This plan never came to fruition, however, and that honor was left to her successor, USS Enterprise (CVN-65). The only ship of her class, Enterprise holds several other distinctions - the longest naval vessel in the world, the second-oldest commissioned vessel in the US Navy (after the USS Constitution), and, when retired in 2013, will have served 51 years - far longer than any other US carrier. All nine of the carriers covered by this volume are icons, and hold a much-respected place in US naval history. They are also some of the more well-known vessels outside of the military, for their long service histories, as well as for some of the more unfortunate events that seem to follow them - from Kitty Hawk's infamous 1972 "grilled cheese" race riot, to the fires that ravaged Forrestal in 1967 and Enterprise in 1969. Though swiftly superseded, first by each other, then by the Nimitz class, these vessels were the US Navy's backbone during the Cold War.
US Destroyers 19340-45: Pre-war classesby Paul Wright Dave Mccomb
Since the beginning of the 20th century, destroyers have been all-purpose ships, indispensable in roles large and small - from delivering the mail at sea to screening other vessels and, where larger ships were not present, forming the front line in battle. This title details the 169 ships of ten classes introduced in the 1930s: early 1,500-tonners and 1,850-ton destroyer leaders designed to conform to the 1930 London Naval Treaty, plus the successor 1,570-ton Sims class and 1,620- and 1,630-ton Benson and Gleaves classes. In wartime, most 1,500-tonners and leaders initially saw front line duty in the Pacific but were relegated to secondary assignments as newer vessels arrived; while the later 1,620- and 1,630-tonners became the standard destroyers of the Atlantic War. This volume reveals the fascinating design story behind these pioneering classes - from the constraints of peacetime treaties to advances in propulsion engineering, and wartime modifications. With an operational overview of their service and tables listing all ships by class, builder, and initial squadron, this is the definitive guide to the pre-war US destroyer classes.
US Destroyers 1942-45: Wartime classesby Paul Wright Dave Mccomb
Few if any 20th century warships were more justly acclaimed than the destroyers of the US Navy's Fletcher class. Admired as they were for their advanced and rakish design, it was their record as workhorses of the Pacific War that placed them among the most battle-tested and successful fighting ships of all time. This title describes the Fletchers and their Allen M. Sumner- and Gearing-class derivatives, their machinery, armament, and construction, with a listing of all 343 ships by hull number and builder. It features an operational history of the 287 ships commissioned during World War II, which traces the evolution of night surface action tactics in the Solomon Islands and the parallel development of the Combat Information Center; the drive across the Pacific and liberation of the Philippines with tables showing the rapid introduction of new squadrons; and the radar pickets' climactic stand against kamikaze aircraft at Okinawa. With summaries of losses and decorations and specially commissioned artwork, this is a definitive book on the wartime US destroyer classes.From the Trade Paperback edition.
US Heavy Cruisers 1941-45 - Pre-war Classesby Paul Wright Mark Stille
American Navy cruisers built prior to World Wat II saw extensive action throughout the Pacific War, in both surface actions like Guadalcanal, and carrier battles like Midway.Designed and produced under the regulations of the Washington Naval Treaty, the heavy cruisers of the Pensacola, Northampton, Portland, New Orleans and Wichita classes were exercises in compromise. While they possessed very heavy armament, the Pensacolas, for example, carrying a main battery of ten 8" guns, this came at the cost of protection - armor was the same thickness as a gun cruiser, and incapable of protecting the vessels from enemy 8" fire. As the classes evolved, these flaws began to be corrected, with the main battery being reduced, and increased protection being added to the vital areas of the ship. Despite these drawbacks, the pre-war heavy cruiser classes served with distinction throughout World War II.

• A number of risk factors have been proposed for the development of neuroleptic malignant syndrome, but these have not been subjected to controlled study. To address this problem, we performed a case-control study comparing 18 patients with neuroleptic malignant syndrome and 36 matched neuroleptictreated control patients with no known history of the syndrome to identify potential risk factors. Patients with neuroleptic malignant syndrome displayed significantly greater psychomotor agitation, received significantly higher doses of neuroleptics at greater rates of dosage increase, and received a greater number of intramuscular injections than controls.

Dr Michael Spence took up his appointment as Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Sydney, and official Fellow of Senate, on 11 July 2008. At its meeting on 17 September 2012, Senate approved his reappointment for a second five-year term to commence on 1 July 2013.
Terms of office as Vice-Chancellor:
- term 1: 11 July 2008 - 30 June 2013
- term 2: 1 July 2013 - 30 June 2018
Dr Spence is an ex-officio member of the following Senate committees:
- Buildings and Estates Committee
- Chair Appointments Committee
- Education and Research Committee
- Finance and Audit Committee
- Investment and Commercialisation Committee
- Nominations and Appointments Committee
- Safety and Risk Management Committee
BA LLB Sydney DPhil PGDipTheol Oxf
Vice-Chancellor and Principal, and ex-officio Fellow of Senate, 2008 -
Dr Spence is an alumnus of the University, having graduated with First Class Honours in English, Italian and Law (BA (Hons) '85 and LLB (Hons)'87). Before leaving for the University of Oxford in 1988 to undertake doctoral studies, Dr Spence lectured in Law at the University and also worked for the Australian Copyright Council.
At Oxford, Dr Spence obtained his DPhil and continued to develop his career there over the next 20 years. He became a Fellow of St Catherine's College and a Lecturer of the University of Oxford in 1992. Three years ago he also obtained a Postgraduate Diploma in Theology from the University of Oxford.
During his time at Oxford, Dr Spence became internationally recognised as a leader in the field of intellectual property theory. His work includes articles and books on both intellectual property law and the law of obligations, with a critical focus on suggested ethical and economic justifications of the existing regimes. He remains a consultant to the London law firm, Olswang and serves as a WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center Panelist. He has lectured on intellectual property-related topics around the world, and held a number of visiting appointments in Boston, Munich and Siena. He has twice been a Parsons Fellow at the University of Sydney Law School.
In addition to his formidable academic qualifications, Dr Spence brings to his new role equally impressive administrative expertise and achievement. He served as head of the Law Faculty at the University of Oxford and most recently, was Head of the Social Sciences Division, one of the four Divisions that make up the University. In this capacity, he reported to the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford as part of the small team that served the University as a whole, and was a member of its Council.
Among his many achievements at Oxford, Dr Spence oversaw significant growth of research activity and funding in the Social Sciences, and the strengthening of links between the social science departments, and between them and the University more broadly.
One of Dr Spence's priorities at Oxford was actively to encourage fundraising and substantial sponsorship from benefactors and corporate groups. He was a driving force behind the establishment and financial support of a number of Oxford's new research centres and institutes, such as the Oxford Centre for Educational Assessment and the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment. His responsibilities included oversight of some of the University of Oxford's most innovative research units, including the James Martin School for the 21st Century and the Oxford-Man Institute for Quantitative Finance.
Dr Spence is the University of Sydney's 25th Vice-Chancellor.

text: Who: an Introduction to Psychology class taught by Assistant Professor Serena Butcher. What: final exam. When: 9:03 a.m. Where: 2048 Science Center. Why: "The final exam is predominantly on previously untested material from the last section of the course," Butcher says. "However, it does feature one long essay question that asks students to integrate conceptual information from across the semester. The exam counts for 25 percent of the students' grade." How: massive doses of caffeine; deep-breathing and meditation techniques to stave off panic attacks and counteract caffeine overdose; desperate appeals to higher power; antacids as needed.

Nokia to break up with Samsung as supplier, too, as 'the firewall is as sturdy as a pile of kimchi'
0. phoneArena 15 Feb 2013, 06:20 posted on
Conflict of interest is cited as Nokia is straight-out concerned that information might leak from Samsung's conveyor belts to the higher-ups, indicating what handsets the company has in the pipeline...

What I was trying to get across is this... we don't need to fake-threaten people here, even though we may be joking. It just doesn't seem appropriate to me, and I think some others would agree. I am glad we have been having this type of discussion in another part of the thread... regarding sensitivity and respectfulness... let's all raise-the-bar a bit on our dialogue. Thanks!

so this article is saying Samsung is stealing Nokia off some stuff that may not be in market but in research like they said something about OLEDs

Apple try to create war between Nokia and Samsung.
48. KiranPAUSER (Posts: 73; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
Good measure. Nokia should protect it development secrecy from its rival.
53. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Does it really matter? Whoever is next supplier will steal as every supplier is getting into Smartphone business ... pissed that "420" to 920 sales aren 't causing any stir in market :D
54. boosook (Posts: 1437; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
LOL! I don't like Samsung, but here Nokia is being pathetic.
55. papss (unregistered)
Agreed Nokia should cut ties... This is how SS got to where they are... So strange that any Korean company would copy..cough Hyundai cough... Apple had nothing to do with persuasion of this matter. I don't reward companies for cheap products so until SS learns how to make a premium felt device I will never buy there products again

Does anybody remember, wayyyyyy back, when Microsoft announced that they would release their own tablet? How upset were the O.E.M.s? Anybody remember why they were upset? But, ..... during all of these "accusations," nobody made racial slurs like "pile of kimchi."
63. Stoli89 (Posts: 333; Member since: 28 Jun 2010)
Koreans are very nationalistic and deeply loyal to their respective chaebols...I highly doubt there was ever a serious firewall at SAMSUNG.
65. TomDawson (Posts: 1; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
There's a typo in the article...can you see it now: "PureView camera tech, the cause for concern is easy to explai."
68. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3766; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Yeah, the one who typed it probably got killed before typing 'n'.
But really, are you worried about the typo?? Don't you see any bigger picture?
69. gravityron (Posts: 20; Member since: 07 Aug 2012)
A "pile" of kimchi? REALLY??
Kimchi is not in piles. Dog sh*t is, though. And what does kimchi have to do with a firewall anyhow?
So ... hmm ... It would seem to me that this "insider" wants to fan the flames of bigotry.

75. hepresearch (unregistered)
There are two types of people in this world... the doers, and the fault finders. Yes, the doers often make mistakes, or do some things that are wrong... but the pure fault finders do nothing but sit on the sidelines and jeer at all the doers and deride them for all of their faulty doings. Then the fault finders demand a cut of the income of the doers, in exchange for temporarily ignoring the faults of the doers. Thus, the fault finders live off of the doers by scrutinously pointing out their faults and constantly demanding recompense for personal harm and damages from various and different doer-hosts.
People can be a combination of both types at the same time... we all are somewhere on that human scale, not perfectly one or the other, but some amount of both at any given time... a linear-superposition of states, if you will. The fault finders, though, are the ultimate hypocrites if they demand a living from the doers and fail to acknowledge their own faulty ways or even to support themselves with some amount of their own doing. The pure fault finders will ultimately crush the doers, and starve themselves, when people just give up and stop doing. Don't be a purist fault finder. People must do, or else there will someday be no more people.
Yes, Samsung is a doer, and yes, they make mistakes and do wrong things sometimes... but Apple is an epic fault finder, who does only what they need to do in order to cover their own bases, and finds fault in all the rest and then demands epic payment. They convince their followers that they have been wronged by the rest of the world, and that innovation and creativity have been their work and theirs alone. They convince the judges that they have 'earned' a right to the fruit of the labors of others, and then further glut themselves on the spoils of the court victories. At the end of all this, they do a little tweaking here or there, reshape the mold of the housing, add a new row of icons, and either slap a new number on the box... or add an 'S' on the end of the last product's name. The new product is hailed as the latest and greatest... the icon of mobile style... the realization of a new epiphany of Steve Jobs himself channelled through Tim Cook... the newest penultimate expression of beauty, simplicity, elegance, and luxury...

i gave you a thumbs up, while your last paragraphs representation of apple wasnt always right (like when the iphone first came out), the past couple of years it represents apple very well.
86. hepresearch (unregistered)
You are right. Apple's original iPhone was a huge undertaking and a big initial success, and took a lot of work on their part, a lot of it hidden and behind closed doors and with a lot of healthy cooperation from component manufacturers. However, you are also right that this has not been a continued trend for the last couple of years, and the lawsuit frenzy is serving no one well. Apple, like a person, is a combination of both states of being, and has the ability to change its behavior over time to reflect the changing interests of its most influencial human components.
I my own ways, I am no different. I have the ability to be more one than the other, and to change that mix. I try to do what is right, but I do not always succeed, and I often catch myself fault finding and grousing about things going on around me. In that regard, I am no different from almost anyone else. I don't want to be a hypocrite, but sometimes it is hard to prevent.
91. hepresearch (unregistered)
It doesn't help that component suppliers for Apple and others have indeed been in the business from time to time, whether their management knew of it or not, of lifting ideas from the OEM's that they could offer to the other OEM's, and also to get themselves launched in competing in the same industry with the Big Boys. Yes, it is wrong to steal or "counterfeit", and copying, though not technically illegal in most cases, is still frowned upon highly by many folks. Apple has responded with fault-finding overkill, though, and is seeking to crush the "doing" of so many other OEM's in an industry where the exclusive iPhone style and general appearance defines nearly all popular smartphones, and Apple is definitely unhappy with this fact... though I would say they can't be too unhappy that their brain-child iPhone set the new trend all by itself. It doesn't matter whether the LG Prada did it first or not... the point here is that the iPhone is the one almost everyone remembers, and is the one almost everybody tries to emulate. If Apple can't live at peace in a world where other companies have to make iPhone-look-alikes to compete [and, clearly, other companies really CAN'T live in a world where Apple is the lone OEM for popular smartphones, and the work needed to find a new market-shaking solution is too high because people aren't willing to pay for anything that different from what already works so well], then everyone loses in the end.
81. freebee269 (Posts: 539; Member since: 10 Aug 2012)
if nokia doesnt like what they see at their supplier, it's their right to switch suppliers. even that is in a terms of service. samsung isnt the only supplier in the world. also, samsung does supply certain things in a cell phone that others dont so they wont be cutting ties completely. as far as financially, this cant be good for samsung. they made alot of money from being apple's and nokia's major supplier, they will lose that money. from a business standpoint, that's not good.

i think that might be true.
118. applesauce (banned) (Posts: 165; Member since: 26 Aug 2012)
I'm mostly curious about what components Nokia is so protectively nervous about. Screens are one thing, although there's no one single leader - Nokia I believe is leading with refresh rate, sensitivity, outdoor visibility, and brightness, HTC's M7/One will have the resolution crown for a bit, Samsung leads in production capacity, Sharp leads in clarity and quality, and Sony has some really great software tricks (BRAVIA engine, notably). Now if it's something else, like chip design, camera, or something else that would continue Nokia's tradition of excellence and evolving the industry with truly innovative products, that would be of much interest.
126. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
That is the thing, Nokia is on pretty thin ground here. There is pretty much nothing Nokia has that Samsung would be interested in stealing in the first place.
Samsung display is already an expert on display technologies. The Nexus 10 LCD screen and the AMOLED equivalent are fantastic screens. If they need some technology, they can borrow it from their computer monitor and television division, not Nokia.
For the SOC and GPU they have a close relationship with the direct source, ARM. They have also purchased from Qualcomm and Power VR before.
For flash memory and such they are pretty much the leaders in mobile.
For battery technology they are quite efficient as well considering how they can fit huge batteries in super slim handsets. However, they would copy Motorola here instead of Nokia. Especially considering how poor everyone says the battery in the L920 is.
For the camera technology, Sony is taking care of them with the best sensors and their own in house software team seems to be doing a bang up job with share shot and features like that.
In fact, the only thing I think Nokia can offer Samsung is LTE or 3G technology, which they can license for cheap. They have to pay Ericsson and Nokia for this stuff already.
Sorry buddy, I don't see a single area where Samsung can't do better than Nokia in house.
120. lubba (Posts: 1313; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
Nokia knows something we don't. So stop bitching and bragging. Besides, only rumors.

Me thinks you are using a Nokia phone now?
139. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3766; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Me thinks it's a 3310 with 3G :P
141. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
i dont think innovation is stop at Nokia but its extinct and Samsung apple
besides only 920 contains all the new stuff no other phone have u dumb tard if u know what innovation actually means
talking facts
Samsung last new thing on phone that's wasn't there before AMOLED screens dont know anything else or u have the list
talk about nokia than
first time polocarbonate body which dont lose color if scratched or rubbed off in time like any other phone
hybrid screen tech support capacitive and resistive touch
advanced camera with high res and image stabilizers tech
first to implement wireless charging without 3rd party hardware companies [and sgs3 don't have wireless charging some other company sale this gadget for extra cash]
if u still are thinking i am making this all up then u belong to a .bin folder or u need to upgrade ur brain lol cuz i don't think i made-up any point above u can tell me wht Samsung did in contras expect the increasing of cores and ram this is no innovation and Samsung is not the first either in adding cores and extra ram i guess it was Sony or Motorola
so my conclusion Samsung had nothing from itself rather copies of all best phones features except the display
yeah i guess u are a liar or dumb to go in that sector to bash around and please don't make stupid comments that's doesn't hold ground it makes you look pathetic fool with no life
133. MC1123 (Posts: 1255; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
yeah!! they shouldn't rely too much on samsung parts! i mean sharp and other japanese tech havew way better tech than korean, but its just that korean tech are way cheaper!!
i really wanna see that INZO display of sharp

they did the right samsung. I wouldn't trust samsung either. They are well known for being, along with apple, the biggest thieves in the industry.
even htc is struggling to do sth similar to pureview tech and implement it in m7.

15 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Had ChildrenCasi Densmore-Koon
{Print, Fifth + Hazel, Download free}
4 Littles later, I am a little behind on writing this.Better late then never, right? I get one question all the time: How do you do it? Well, sometimes I ask myself the same thing. But, I do it – every day, every minute. Having children is hard work, and as much as I love every single second, it is exhausting and scary. So many friends of mine feel faint even thinking about having a kid.
Just this week, I got an email from the lovely super-mom herself, Pam of Project Nursery. She said, "Congrats on #5. That's amazing – my hat goes off to you sister. I'm tapped out at 3." Well Pam, I thought I was tapped out at #2 but then came #3 and #4 and you just somehow do it. Not to mention I haven't even been through the teenage years, so I know I am in for a wild ride. But for those who are expecting their first or well on their way to conceiving, here is some advice for you: 15 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Had Children.
1. You forget. You make mistakes and being a control freak is all out the window. But remember, it's okay. You're only human.
2. Sleep? You can say good-bye. Lucky for me, all of my girls have slept all night from day one. So why didn't I sleep? Because I stayed up until 3am doing everything I couldn't do while I was taking care of them.
3. Forget watching E! or catching up on HGTV all day. Say good-bye to All My Children and hello to Yo Gabba Gabba. Invest in a DVR because the only time you will watch TV is late at night, and by that point you may be catching up on a whole season.
4. Mommy brain. This goes with forgetting. You don't remember much, sometimes not a thing, but don't worry – it happens to almost everyone.
5. Instinct. You automatically will have to trust yourself. Your "gut" will make a lot of decisions. Your natural maternal instincts are what you will always turn to.
6. Don't argue over clothes. Forget looking like a cookie cutter family. When your 4 year old picks out a crazy costume to wear for a family outing, don't fight it; you won't win this battle.
7. Don't wear white. You will be a human napkin. At the end of the day, you will have a stained shirt. Invest in a Tide stick.
8. Stretch marks are so not fun. I will never forget the first time I saw a stretch mark. I cried. Invest in a good cream, and remember: they are just a reminder of your bundle of joy.
9. There is always THE END. With children, there are many stages. From sleep deprivation to potty training and everything in between, you can get through–it always comes to an end.
10. Take care of YOU! If that means locking yourself in the bathroom for 5 minutes so you can have some peace or getting a manicure, just take some time for you because your Littles need a Mom! You won't believe this, but even my husband sits just to go pee. Any chance you get, you will be taking that quiet time.
11. Never-ending laundry. Especially with a baby, you will never get caught up. Unless you have a nanny or a laundry service, you can forget it.
12. They really do grow up fast. It feel like it was just yesterday I had my 9 year old. I remember every momemt of that pregnancy, and boy have those 9 years flown by. Enjoy every moment with your children.
13. Listen. My 3rd grader comes home with never-ending stories all the time, and my 4 year old gabs on for hours, but I always listen. If they know you always listen, they will continue to talk to you. This is a great thing for those teenage years.
14. LOVE! When your child hugs you and says I love you, there is no feeling like it. Yes, you love your husband but the feeling for your child is a feeling like no other. At the end of day, they will always love you.
15. It's okay to jump up and down with joy when you take a trip to Target alone. It's okay to smile and take in that moment. And broswe the aisles just a little longer.
I could probably go on for days but this about sums up my thoughts! What tips or advice do you have for surviving motherhood?

Rock of Love star Bret Michaels describes his Tony Awards accident in one way: "I got my bell rung!"
"All in all, I'd like to think I feel okay," the Poison frontman, 46, tells PEOPLE. "But I got to be honest with you, I feel pretty beat up."
During the opening number on the June 7 telecast of Broadway's biggest night, Michaels suffered a fractured nose and split lip after he was hit by a large sign descending from the ceiling following Poison's performance with the Rock of Ages cast.
"I want to make very clear to everybody that – first and foremost – I was honored to be asked to be at the Tonys. I'd never done it before and in all my life it's not something I thought I'd be on. I was really excited," Michaels says. "There's no lawsuit. I'm not doing any of that. I'm taking the high road."
He has other things to focus on, he says. Poison kicks off their tour with Def Leppard on June 23. And his tell-all book, Roses & Thorns, hits bookstores late this summer.
In the meantime, Michaels is still enjoying the company of VH1's Rock of Love season-three winner, Taya Parker.
"We're dating, we're having fun, we'll see what happens," Michaels says. "It's not exclusive, but we're dating and having a great time."

Gold prices continue to drop, but why?
Gold prices just wrapped up their worst quarter -- down 23 percent -- since at least 1920, according to Bloomberg News. The shiny metal has lost its glow for now. What's going on with gold?
- The decline "is feeding on itself," according to experts cited in this article at CNBC's Market Insider. Writer Patti Domm quotes a list of those experts who note that factors affecting gold's decline include a slowdown in gold-buying by China and India. http://bit.ly/12r06me
- Gold could fall below $1,000 an ounce, according to an investment specialist who, it should be pointed out, has made financial bets that will pay off if gold continues to decline. Investors.com, a site from Investors Business Daily, includes the comment. http://bit.ly/12r0ctV
- Dr. Doom, famous economist Nouriel Roubini, added his voice to the gold trash-talkers early in June in this article. He said investors should keep some small investments in gold, he said, but "gold remains John Maynard Keynes's 'barbarous relic,' with no intrinsic value and used mainly as a hedge against irrational fear and panic." http://bit.ly/13ceXUB

text: I was just checking on the PBO latest news blog and noticed that last week a pectoral sandpiper had turned up in the tiniest village green at Easton, how bizarre! Looks like they have had some decent birds down that way with wryneck, grey phalarope and long-tail skua in the last week. Worth a look if you are down that way!
