Why a 90-year-old treaty limits NATO in the Black Sea.

A 90-year-old treaty still shapes the balance of power in the Black Sea.

As Ukraine fights on against Russia, can NATO project power into waters it can’t enter freely?

Work is off-loading old #oceanography books (no space, no money, not our job etc etc 😞 ). I'm not the worst book-hoarder in the house so I didn't feel too bad taking in a couple of waifs. (I may have to block the Library email tho in case there are more). This one is 150 yrs old and it is oceanography at a similar scale to what I do now. It is written very conversationally... "we did the thing and the results seemed sensible, then we did another thing and those results.. well who knows?" And some lovely coloured plots - would they have been printed or hand coloured? And we still use drifters like the 2nd image - but I wouldn't use a long line like that, and we have GPS plus temperature & pressure sensors aboard. I wonder what they would have thought of our modern kit? Oh and it's the #Dardanelles - so 42 years later it was the scene of so much pointless loss. #ocean #science #history

For centuries, Russia wanted access to warm water ports in the Mediterranean and fought with #Turkey for that access. It finally got one in #Syria after military intervention following #ArabSpring to prop up Bashar #Assad.

Assad's collapse threatens that Russian naval port as well as an air base.

✧ Bouvet ✧

Bouvet was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the French Navy, built in the 1890s, and armed with a main battery of two 305 mm (12 in) guns and two 274 mm (10.8 in) guns in individual turrets. A top speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph) made her one of the fastest battleships in the world. Bouvet spent the majority of her peacetime career con...
