Fighting in the Dark: Naval Combat at Night, 1904-1944
Year: 2023 Language: English Author: Vincent P. O’Hara - editor, Trent Hone - editor Performer (voice actor): Chris Monteiro Publisher: Tantor Audio Audio codec: M4B Audio bitrate: 128 kbps Description: Before the twentieth century ships when relied upon visual signaling, vessels beyond range of sight or a cannon shot, were blind, deaf, and dumb in the dark, making night battles at sea rare, and near always accidental. The introduction of certain technologies like the torpedo, the searchlight, radio, and then radar, transformed naval warfare by making night combat feasible and, in some cases, desirable. The process by which navies integrated these new tools of war and turned the dark into a medium for effective combat, however, was long and difficult.
