Year: 1983 Language: English Author: John Moore Genre: History Publisher: Jane's Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 184 Description: More than a year on, the Falklands War still exercises the minds of naval observers, such was the wealth of old lessons re-emphasised and new ones learned. Centrepiece of this year's Jane's Naval Review is Capt John Moore's penetrating critique of the British Government White Paper on the war. The paralysing effect of the submarine and the vital need for a healthy merchant marine are acknowledged in the White Paper. But is the West well served in either respect? Cdr Roy Corlett concludes that Britain's newest submarine and torpedo designs could be found wanting in the face of the Soviet Union's awesome underwater capability. Andrew Ambrose and Adm Harold E. Shear warn of a dangerous decay in Nato's ability to move vital supplies by sea, though matters are now taking a belated turn for the better. One way of achieving quick and comparatively cheap convoy protection is the merchant aircraft carrier: Nigel Ling explains how this forty-year-old concept is being adapted for the 1980s. At the other end of the scale, the classical fleet carrier is still at the heart of the USN's power-projection plans: Bill Sweetman speaks up for the F/A-18 Hornet, the much criticised combat aircraft that will arm America's carriers well into the next century.
