A Naval Chat with Dr. Alexander Clarke

Overview

Usually these interviews start with a topic and go from there, but in this case I was joined by Dr. Alexander Clarke for a wide ranging discussion on naval history. We talked about the Royal Navy, the perception of its preparations for war, the role that naval aviation played in naval planning during the interwar years, Dr. Clarke’s upcoming book on British destroyers, and several other topics.
