Description:

Risale-i Mevkute-i Bahriye was an important official Ottoman naval and military periodical established during the final years of the Ottoman Empire and published in Istanbul. Its publication began on December 13, 1914, during World War I. Printed in Ottoman Turkish at the Naval Printing House (Bahriye Matbaası) under the authority of the Third Branch of the Naval General Staff (Erkân-ı Harbiye-i Bahriye 3. Şubesi), the journal aimed to provide professional military knowledge and keep Ottoman naval officers informed about international developments in naval warfare. Its main subjects included naval strategy, maritime technology, ship mechanics, torpedoes, ammunition chemistry, international maritime law, naval tactics, and military history.

This issue, Volume 6, No. 10, dated August 1916, opens with an extensive chronological and technical study of the Dardanelles Naval Campaign of 1915. The article examines one of the Ottoman Empire's most significant naval engagements of World War I, documenting the campaign from a military and strategic perspective. The issue also includes a contribution titled “Akdeniz Boğazı Muharebeleri” (Naval Battles in the Mediterranean Straits), offering further coverage of naval warfare and strategic developments.

International naval operations are examined through “Admiral Jellicoe's Report,” concerning the Battle of Jutland, one of the major naval engagements of World War I. A map of the Battle of Jutland is included, providing valuable visual documentation of the naval encounter. Other contributions include an article on Germany's blockade-running submarine and a feature titled “Şuûn-ı Bahriye” (Naval Affairs).
