Dr. Weir is Chief Historian Office of Corporate Communications National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and author of path-breaking studies of the history of modern naval science and technology including Forged in War: The Naval Industrial Complex and American Submarine Construction 1940-1961 and An Ocean in Common: American Naval Officers Scientists and the Ocean Environment. He was also the principal investigator for You Cannot Surge Trust: Combined Naval Operations of the Royal Australian Navy Canadian Navy Royal Navy and United States Navy 1991-2003. This book is the first to analyze the partnership between the Navy industry and science forged by World War II and responsible for producing submarines in the United States in the period from 1940 through 1961. As such it provides vital historical context for those deciding the future of the Navy's submarine force. Weir argues that the triangular naval industrial & scientific network that designed & built American submarines from 1940 to 1961 not only integrated the Navy & the submarine industry but also promoted the involvement of many scientists who had the expert knowledge to develop submarine designs systems & instrumentation. The intimate professional relationships forged by global war & the sense of purpose & urgency during the later Cold War led to a period of remarkable innovation & productivity in the 16 years after 1945.
