Book Synopsis

The Royal Navy at the start of the twenty-first century had undergone the most remarkable transformation. The Fleet is today the smallest since the start of the Napoleonic wars as surface vessels are no longer viable as a principal line of defence. That preserve is now in the hands of Britain''s nuclear-armed submarine fleet, well chronicled in THE SILENT SERVICE and the Air Force, as outlined in STRIKE COMMAND. This book will complete the triangle of our essential military might, telling the story of today''s sea-going ultra-mobile, rapid reaction, missile- and aircraft-carrying task force.



John Parker includes personal interviews from the men and women who have served in the Senior Service to bring his story vividly to life.
