UK defence policy/posture — naval

These references relate to naval warfare issues within the defence policy and posture of the United Kingdom that provide context to understanding development and implementation of defence and security policies that relate to chemical and biological warfare. Without understanding the general, it is not possible to understand the specific.

As the collections were put together by researchers focused on chemical and biological warfare issues, these background/context files are not likely to be comprehensive.

Links for entries below will replace this page when opening so you may want to open them in a new tab or window.

PLEASE NOTE: the cataloguing system is under development and does not yet contain all relevant references from the holdings in the collections.
