    What immediate challenges did the governments concerned face for their dockyards and shipyards? What long-term impacts resonate for them today? Signifying personal and international interest and legacy: USS Salem, US 6th Fleet flagship being lifted by AFD 35 in Grand Harbour Malta, 1956, just before the Suez crisis. Decommissioned, now at US Naval and Shipbuilding Museum, Quincy, Massachusetts, https://www.uss-salem.org/. Photo Roger Bendall, 1956. Writing a decade after the Suez crisis, one contemporary politician dismissed the affair as merely ‘the dying convulsion of the British Empire.’ This view is still widely held today, but how authentic is that interpretation in hindsight? How did the Suez crisis redefine Britain’s international identity and economic profile and its relationship with former colonies and ongoing allies? And how did it influence attitudes among Britain’s allies, including France and Israel, who had taken part, and the United States who had forced an early end to the action? Critically, how did the Suez aftermath and its often bitter recriminations shape future British naval policy on home and overseas dockyards and shipyards and their communities? Conference themes will include: Overview of how the Suez crisis shaped subsequent British and Allied naval strategy and deployment in the Cold War Political, local, social and economic effects of Suez on dockyards and shipyards globally Global strategic threats and opportunities arising from Suez Suez accelerated the global power shift from Britain to the United States – evidence?
