In the post-1945 era, the aircraft carrier has remained a valued weapon despite the development of nuclear weapons, cruise and ballistic missiles, and highly capable submarines. At times, as in the early days of the Korean and Vietnam Wars and in the Falklands conflict, carriers alone could deploy high-performance aircraft to the battlefield. In other operations, such as enforcing the no-fly zones and the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, only carriers could provide the bases needed for sustained combat and support operations.
This second volume of Norman Polmar's landmark... In the post-1945 era, the aircraft carrier has remained a valued weapon despite the development of nuclear weapons, cruise and ballistic missiles, and...

ISBN: 9781574885309 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Submarines had a vital, if often unheralded, role in the superpower navies during the Cold War. Their crews carried out intelligence-collection operations, sought out and stood ready to destroy opposing submarines, and, from the early 1960s, threatened missile attacks on their adversary's homeland, providing in many respects the most survivable nuclear deterrent of the Cold War. For both East and West, the modern submarine originated in German U-boat designs obtained at the end of World War II. Although enjoying a similar technology base, by the 1990s the superpowers had created submarine...

Spy Ships: One Hundred Years of Intelligence Collection by Ships and Submarines
ISBN: 9781640124752 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Almost from the first days of seafaring, men have used ships for “spying” and intelligence collection.
