    RN 1945 corvette

    In Norman Friedman's invaluable "The Postwar Naval Revolution", which I have so far read many times, now I have found yet another new information. It regards a project of a corvette from 1945. This is what Friedman says on this (in a footnote on one of the book's pages): "The 1200-ton corvette...

    RN 1962: Escort Cruiser versus Type 82 with helo

    In Friedman's book on British Destroyers and Frigates there is an interesting account of how the Royal Navy looked at the competing virtues of two ships which are described but never illustrated. The first is a 10,000 ton escort cruiser armed with Seadart launchers front and aft and with a...

    Sea Harrier with a nuke

    A few years ago I recall seeing a picture of a Sea Harrier with a WE.177 nuclear weapon in a book. I think it was: Keeping the Peace - The Aldermaston Story by David J Hawkings Can anyone confirm this? I'd like to trace the pic. As I understand it they would have used the WE.177 both for...

    US 1950s Patrol Escort Project

    I've asked the helpful folks over at Warship Disscussion 3.0 about this and despite much searching no-one could find any references, not even from Friedman's US books. Reading Norman Friedman's 'British Carrier Aviation' he mentions the American Patrol Escort (PE) idea of the 1950s. Basically...

    In Flight Refuelling

    This idea was proved pre WW2 but for some reason doesn't seem to have been considered for use in extending the range of LRMP aircraft. What method was used, my reading of it is that the tanker trailed a hose (with a drogue to prevent wild movements) and the receiving aircraft caught this with a...
