Excerpt from Notes on Sea-Coast Defence: Consisting of Sea-Coast Fortification, the Fifteen-Inch Gun, and Casemate Embrasures
The march of invention and improvement in all the machinery of war has been so rapid, of late years, as to make necessary frequent scrutiny of all existing "systems," whether of military organization or construction, lest they should be found no longer adapted to their purposes.
Indeed, it is more common by those who would be regarded as illuminated by the new lights of the age to lay the charge of "obsolete" against such systems than to scrutinize their validity.
The existing system of American "Sea-coast "Defence" has been always a chosen subject with such. To examine whether it is still a safe reliance for the nation, and whether it is capable of opposing to new and probable means of attack new and sufficient counteracting agencies, - to ascertain, in fact, whether it has in itself a faculty of adaptation to the changes of the times, without which nothing old can long survive, - is the object of these "Notes."

Notes on Sea-Coast Defence (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the critical question of sea-coast defense in the mid-19th century, a time of great upheaval in military technology and global power dynamics. The author delves into the heated debate surrounding the relative merits of a strong navy versus fortifications, arguing that the latter is the true foundation of a nation's coastal security. The book's core argument is laid bare through a fascinating comparison of the evolving defense strategies of England and the United States. While England long relied on its dominant navy, the author highlights the British governmentââ â¢s recent shift towards a more robust fortification system, echoing the principles long championed by American engineers. The author skillfully unpacks the rationale behind this shift, emphasizing the growing power of continental navies and the increasing threat of steam-powered warships. The book explores the technological advancements that challenged conventional military thinking, introducing the reader to the revolutionary 15-inch gun, a powerful weapon capable of smashing through the thickest iron plating. The author analyzes the effectiveness of this new weapon and its potential to counter the emerging threat of ironclad warships, a development that would have a profound impact on naval warfare for years to come. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling and insightful examination of a critical period in military history, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between technological innovation, strategic thinking, and the changing face of warfare. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
