Translated from the official German naval history of the First World War, this account is based upon the war diaries of the commanding officers involved and makes extensive use of the texts of naval staff memoranda andinstructions, operation and war orders, and German wireless messages. Concentrating on the North Sea area, the volume begins with an examination of the background of the conflict and the preliminary German preparations for the warvis-a-vis those of the British Navy, and then proceeds to the early operations of the two fleets during August 1914. The detailed treatment reflects theimportance of this initial stage of the contest, in which are exhibited the maritime planning and determinations that set the course of the entire naval conduct of the war: the blockade by Britain and the German employment of the submarine and mine warfare.

Submarine Warfare in the 20 th & 21 st Centuries: A Bibliography

Short Takeoff and Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft are options for future replacement of sea-based Conventional Takeoff and Landing (CTOL) aircraft. A conceptual design study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of a minimum-cost modification of the Lockheed S-3A airframe to an S-3 STOVL configuration. The STOVL concept is based on the use of four TF34 turbofan engines and the application of Lockheed's Advanced Internally Blown Jet Flap/Vectored Thrust (AIBF/VT) hybrid powered-lift system. The S-3 STOVL deck performance estimates are presented along with mission performance comparisons with four CTOL aircraft. These CTOL aircraft are the C-2A, E-2C, S-3A, and KA-6D for the Carrier On-board Delivery, Airborne Early Warning, Antisubmarine Warfare, and tanker missions respectively.
