DESCRIPTION:
Great condition book Devon Great condition book, simplifies many of the more difficult concepts when compared to Professor Harney's book. This is apparently a staple book at the Naval Academy and we still use it at Naval Postgraduate School.. Great overview, great detail where it counts This is the second edition of a publication that needed some updates - but only because a lot of time has passed and a lot of technology has stepped in.If you're interested in going deep with specific systems this may not be quite right for you, but if you need a solid overview of naval weapon systems, you won't go wrong here. Covers a lot of theory and some relatively new systems/processes are here. I teach for a living and this text fills in a whole lot of gaps.. Craig gives a 'big hands-small map' description of a wide range of topics in a non-platform specific way that is both easy to un mattlgreen As a Weapons Engineering Officer, this book forms the basis for my training of subordinates. Craig gives a 'big hands-small map' description of a wide range of topics in a non-platform specific way that is both easy to understand and entertaining to read.
In some cases, principles of systems that the U.S. It was updated and expanded in the 1980’s version and incorporated in this text. Therefore, it is necessary to understand their basic capabilities. Some subjects are covered in greater detail than needed for an introductory course to allow this text to serve as a basic reference to take into professional life.The text was written to be inclusive of all college majors; as such a conscious effort was made when possible to apply algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and avoid calculus. Navy no longer uses are described in a belief that sometimes it is good to know where you have been to know where you are going. In addition, many countries and organizations still employ some of these lower technology systems. Therefore, many of the equations derived are 1st order, and provide approximations that are sufficient to illustrate the relative performance parameters of variables used in weapon system design. This textbook is intended to serve as an introduction to the underlying science and engineering of weapons used in the naval service. The philosophy used in the material selected for this text is that individual weapons come and go, but the principles of their operation largely remain the same. With advent of new technologies and methods, this text will require periodic updating.. These same theories and principles can then be applied to actual
