The Naval Arms Trade

by Ian Anthony

The acquisition by India, officially a non-nuclear nation, of a nuclear attack submarine, attacks on merchant shipping in the Persian Gulf, and recent large and controversial naval arms sales have kept maritime security at the center of global attention. Offering a frank appraisal of the trade
in naval weapons systems, this study highlights critical areas in which this trade differs from the sale of land or air systems, and discusses the implications of these differences.
