DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT\n\nThe transition of sea power from the battleship dom
 inated Royal Navy of the First World War to the carrier dominated United S
 tates Navy of the Second is well recorded in historiography. This research
  investigates a small but important part of that transition\, elements of 
 which have been previously researched\, but where important connections ha
 ve not been made and where in current British historiography the full pict
 ure has perhaps been hidden behind the achievements of one-man\, Guglielmo
  Marconi.\n\nThe contribution of wireless to the transition of sea power h
 ad its roots in the immediate aftermath of the First World War. This resea
 rch reveals that it involved a somewhat clandestine effort by the United S
 tates Navy to undermine British dominance in global communications\, at th
 at time based on submarine cables. It reveals how Britain’s Imperial obl
 igations and a post-war need for greater control over their communications
  by Britain’s Colonies also contributed to the undermining of the Royal 
 Navy position.\n\nBy a thorough review and new interpretations of existing
  historiography\, plus some additional archive material\, this work identi
 fies connections between Geography\, Economics\, Technology and Political 
 Will that were key in the United States Navy attaining a superior post-war
  position in wireless technology. It shows how these connections enabled t
 hem to benefit from Marconi’s discovery of Short-Wave Radio and how that
  discovery\, by enhancing the role of signals intelligence\, changed the f
 ace of naval operations forever.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Peter Garland\n\nSpea

 nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The 
 transition of sea power from the battleship dominated Royal Navy of the Fi
 rst World War to the carrier dominated United States Navy of the Second is
  well recorded in historiography. This research investigates a small but i
 mportant part of that transition\, elements of which have been previously 
 researched\, but where important connections have not been made and where 
 in current British historiography the full picture has perhaps been hidden
  behind the achievements of one-man\, Guglielmo Marconi.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;&n
 bsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The c
 ontribution of wireless to the transition of sea power had its roots in th
 e immediate aftermath of the First World War. This research reveals that i
 t involved a somewhat clandestine effort by the United States Navy to unde
 rmine British dominance in global communications\, at that time based on s
 ubmarine cables. It reveals how Britain&rsquo\;s Imperial obligations and 
 a post-war need for greater control over their communications by Britain&r
 squo\;s Colonies also contributed to the undermining of the Royal Navy pos
 ition.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nb
 sp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; By a thorough review and new interpretations of existin
 g historiography\, plus some additional archive material\, this work ident
 ifies connections between Geography\, Economics\, Technology and Political
  Will that were key in the United States Navy attaining a superior post-wa
 r position in wireless technology. It shows how these connections enabled
