This report contains the results from a research project aimed at identifying new capabilities for the future Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN). With the type of naval operations and tasks for the period up to 2030-35 largely enduring, the current "regional power projection" profile of the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) must be strengthened and renewed. We envisage the core of the future naval force to remain a versatile mix of surface and sub-surface combatants, shipborne helicopters and unmanned systems for intelligence purposes and extended force projection, modern amphibious forces and long-range land attack capability to counter Anti-Access and Area Denial (A2AD) threats. All main vessels should be ocean-going, able to navigate the main operating theaters in the European seas and the Carib under all conditions. But even while we expect that naval operations and tasks, as well as the overall force profile of the RNLN, will evolve rather than drastically change, the RNLN must substantially innovate — but not beyond recognition — its personnel, materiel, doctrines and processes, organization and structures.

Patrick Cole is a management consultant and poet; two roles not as far apart as you might think. He travels through corporate workplaces regularly and invites you to join him on an enlightening tour from curious, to furious, to a glimpse of nirvana. Yes, he mixes his behavioral science training, Buddhist practice, and tongue-in-cheek poetry to deliver his simple message: there’s more to life than work. And don’t let a little sarcasm dissuade you from joining the tour for underneath his occasional harsh pinstripe exterior lies a workaholic attempting to overcome his “respectable addiction.” When not collecting “loyalty points” at various hotels across the country, Cole lives with his wife in western Michigan. Barbara Merlotti is a professional artist with a master’s degree in art therapy. While typically creating beautiful drawings of sensual organic imagery, she accepted the diversion of graphically portraying the rants of her mad brother-in-law in I Am Furious (Yellow). Merlotti lives with her son in southern Illinois and participates in a variety of art shows in St. Louis, Missouri and the surrounding area. Picking up where their first book (Tangoed Up & Blue) left off; Cole shares the addiction of work, the dehumanization of the corporate institution and a cure for them both while Merlotti illustrates the journey.
For the last 30 years he has been the sole protector of the legendary Diamond Town. Every hour it snows, howls, and storms. Every week, wave after wave of invaders crawl through the woods scouring for a bit of fame and glory on this lost island -- and he cuts them all down with indiscriminate slashes of his sword. No one has survived being the Guardian as long as him, and the shadows are seething with vengeance in the forests and mountains. A vengeful cannibal from a lost invasion, ancient beasts stalking about the mountains waiting to attack, and a fresh new batch of invaders with a beautiful berserker and emotionless captain are simply a few of the festering plagues on this cursed island. There will be no respite. There will be no end to the war and strife. The winters are growing longer, the cold harsher, and the enemies bolder. Take a walk in the footsteps of the Diamond Town's Guardian and his world, through his own blood-weary eyes. Count your footsteps and mind the silence, it's time to hunt, and to fill the graveyard again. PART ONE IN THE CAGED THUNDER SERIES
