So said Admiral Fisher, the Commander of the Royal Navy in a letter to Winston Churchill on April 5th, 1915. Fisher’s impassioned statement was to prove itself chillingly accurate in the disastrous military operation that followed. Following the Great War many military thinkers attempted to refine the principles of warfare to avoid the horrors of trench warfare, and military disasters such as the Gallipoli campaign. One of these thinkers was British military historian J.F.C Fuller, who developed

Justice for the Innocent? Did the Royal Navy captain make a wise decision? Should he have waited and brought the case before an admiral? Was he thinking about what was best for his ship?

The story begins when the main character, Billy Budd, is impressed by a British Naval officer named Vere. The handsome sailor’s only flaw was

War has always been a man’s world. But war that shakes the entire world cannot help but involve women. Twice in the early 20th century did England have to involve its fairer sex in the brutalities of warfare, but the second time-World War II- women became involved very early.

What is the nature of military power and how should it be used to serve national interests? These fundamental questions form the foundation of military strategy.

Deforestation is one of the many concerns of modern day economists when it comes to the world's developing countries. Wood counts as one of the primary resources available for construction and renewable energies.

Mystery ships are ships where something indescribable or unknown has occurred on that ship. For instance, the whole crew could have died like on the SS Ourang Medan, or the whole crew could have disappeared like on the Resolven, or even the ship could disappear like on the SS Baychimo. When these things happen with no evidence to prove what occurred, they become a mystery. These three ships have become some of the most well-known ghost stories today. It was the February of 1947 when the SS Ourang
