Editorial: Naval Review 113/1
By Mike Beardall,
22 Jan 25
Ed. Picture from HMS Scott‘s multi beam side scan sonar.
Following the Tsunami on Boxing Day 2005, HMS Chatham and RFA Diligence together with a number of sub units were deployed to assist as best they could. The Survey ship, HMS Scott, embarked British Marine Geologists and sailed to discover the cause of the subsea earthquake whose tidal wave was to take so many lives. The Indian Ocean plate is shown in purple and blue and disappears under the green and yellow of the Burma plate under normal conditions only several centimeters a year. The shift in 2005 was believed to be in the region of 20 meters causing the second largest earthquake ever recorded of 9.3 on the Richter scale. As the area had not been surveyed using modern techniques before an easy comparison was not available but it was clear that there has been much recent activity on the sea bed. The results of the analysis have helped oceanographers determine the best positions to site early warning systems.

The Ukraine War: Another Year In
By Prof Geoffrey Till,
18 Jan 24
Ed. The author revisits the status of the Ukraine War, a year after his initial analysis [111/2, p. 18]. The failure of either side to deliver a knockout blow, and the systemic nature of new military technology, has reduced the conflict to grinding attrition with few prospects for definitive victory. A 25 minute read.
