The First World War was primarily fought as a land war, but from the very beginning, it was also waged in the world's oceans. Historians from Germany, Great Britain, Canada, the US, Australia, Russia, France, and Austria describe planning for the naval war, its course, and its many transformations. They also explore the day-to-day life of seaman, and discuss forms of remembrance.
