Prologue
War. A word that best describes two combatants fighting, clawing, trying to get the upper hand over one another. War is what has ravaged my land for years now. My country was once rich in resources; never short of money. But then terrorism struck, leaving the United Nations devastated after a single bombing run in 2042. It killed three to four thousand men, women, and children. This started World War III, countries took sides, nations where split, riots broke out in the streets and nuclear bombs ravaged lands leaving craters of ash and radiation. In 2052, ten years later, the war ended, people in the streets celebrated that after ten long years of fighting it all just stopped. In 2053 the king of England declared the new world

He sighed again as he leaned forward grabbing another set of files. Maybe this will be different. He said those last few words in a tone that indicated that he did not believe his own words.
Chapter 1
Suddenly Ben Dawson burst in through the office door, his face became grim the moment that his jaw dropped to start a sentence but Elliot stopped him.
Ah good to see you again Private Dawson, I see that you have had your face looked at since the accident. Dawson grinned, everyone new that this was Admiral Johnson, but he proffered Elliot to his rank in the New Nations naval forces. Yes, Elliot, the young man was grinning ear from ear. But his face grew grim once again as he resumed speaking. Three Tatarri war class frigates have been picked up in our sling space scanner.
‘Perfect’, Elliot replied. ‘What was their last recorded trajectory?’
In short, our way. Soon we are going to be dealing with three Tatarri war class ships. The ship under Elliot’s command was named The Hunter, it was named this as a result of the best weaponry and engines available to the New Nations navy, being fitted into one ship.
Will we be able to outrun them? Dawson asked.
No. Elliot said shaking his low hung head. The Hunters fast but not quite sling space fast. We should be able to put up a fight, a hell of a fight. Dawson, I need you to contact my brother Captain Johnson. He should be able to use the sling space rings outside the planet Banthamere. Tell him to mobilize his
As a developing civilian pilot and a future naval officer, naval air power is the most significant aspect of the Navy. Since naval air power developed after numerous ship-to-ship altercations, it is believed that the ideas of naval air power developed from the theories of Alfred T. Mahan. According to Professor Rubel, the Dean of Naval Warfare Studies at the Naval Warfare College, Naval aviation has established and developed “no separate theoretical basis for either its own justification or employment” (Rubel 64). Alfred T. Mahan strategies ranged from having complete and utter control of all movements across the sea, to having a large Navy that is capable of controlling and using force to either preserve our territories or deter enemies at all costs. Naval air power piggy-backed off of Alfred T. Mahan’s theories and strategies, and eventually composed three naval air power operations that “seize, maintain, and exercise command of the sea/air” (Rubel 64). Whether these operations are through long-distance missile attacks, bombardments, or even land-based amphibious attacks with the Marine Corps, NAVAIR has developed technology that allows the United States to be the world’s most efficient, effective, and active
In the world of military matters, the United States is on the forefront of military technology, tactics, and personnel, especially with the recently commissioned Zumwalt Class Destroyers. Recently within the U.S. Navy specifically, there have been many upgrades and changes, mainly due to the need for upgrades within the many different areas of the fleet. With the newly designed Zumwalt class currently being built by General Dynamics by Bath Iron Works, the Navy has done just that.
War: a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state. War is not just a fight between two organized groups, it is a living hell where people decide if they are going to live or die. The horrors of war are manifested with great detail and imagery in All Quiet on the Western Front, “The Hollow Men”, and In the Field.
“ You cans top shooting canons now,”Judge Thatcher said. “ I’ll turn around,” said the captain. The captain turned the boat around and started to head back to St.Petersburg.
The future of warfare and intelligence is upon the american people today, and it is appears to be the size of a small fishing boat. Massive yet small, the DDG-1000 Zumwalt class stealth destroyer is cutting through naval regularity with innovative new offensive, stealth, and information technology. The Zumwalt will be known as the harbinger of technology and innovation in the upcoming years. Just as gunpowder and the machinegun have changed warfare forever,the Zumwalt marks the beginning of a new era.
The navy has vastly changed its look over the past ten years with the revamping of vassals to the new smart technology it brings with weapon systems.
“Affirmative.” The ships proton cannons came alive taking on the aircraft that were making dives on the ship.
“The Cause of War” is a book written by Australian author Geoffrey Blainey. The book is a collection of studies from wars since 1700’s and it analysis the relation of rivaling nations. The book is divided in four parts it starts discussing the weakness behind the current theories of peace, it then moves to talk the “ingredients” which are key for a nation to determine whether they will go to war or not. Third part of the group is about some misleading theories of war, and the last part just deals with the variety of war.
War can be defined as “an active struggle between competing entities. It’s truly hard to tell who is right or wrong during a war. Both sides are fighting for what they believe in and what is true to their heart. In the end there is always two things promised – destruction and death. These two objects can explain the result in every facet of war from the physical to emotional.
“Ugh, God damnit!” I punched the wall, creating a small dent. My head was spinning, and I could feel my face going hot. Jane stood there, in shock and disgust.
“Alright then, go find some weapons if you can. We’re gonna need ‘em if we’re gonna hold out here," Rex says. With that Sharp was put down by some crates to sit on. Hevy and Rogue started looking for weapons. Then Rex contacted the RUS.
Not a sound could be heard anywhere. Not in the stillness of the shadows, in any recess, not even a whisper disturbed the fresh, quiescent air, until, “Wakey! Wakey! My old shipmates! Rise and shine! Get your horrible torsos out of your loathsome bunks and get moving! We’ve got a war to fight and a good one it will be too!”
“What is this?” shouted Liam as he was running wildly to the Beechcraft C-12 Huron “They call this a military aircraft?”
The evening was cold, stormy, and growing darker. CRAAACK! The storm raged on and on through the night. Captain Matthias White of the Seahawk yelled, "Starboard side! Bail!" As the crew started to bail, Matthias handed a spyglass to his second-in-command, first mate Benjamin Elliot. "Tell me what you see," Matthias
In the time period of last ten years, many changes have been observed in the nature of Warfare from being aggressive towards more argumentative. There are various views and debates among the nature and character of the wars and the debate continues to grow with time. The several reasons of changes can be attributed to the technological advances and other situational changes. This essay is going to shed light upon whether the nature and character of war has been changed in the course of recent years or it continues to be the same as it was years ago.
