How does modern navy surface warfare fiction influence the public's perception of the navy?

One good example is 'The Hunt for Red October' by Tom Clancy. It's a classic that vividly depicts the intense naval warfare on the surface and underwater, with detailed descriptions of naval vessels and strategies.

They made the navy seem more heroic. People read about the brave sailors and their great deeds in these novels.

'Cia fiction' can greatly influence public perception. If in fiction the CIA is always shown as heroic and saving the day, people may view it more positively. For example, in some action movies.

It can create fear. For example, many WW3 fictions that depict nuclear war show the destruction it can cause, making people more aware of the horror of war.

Earthquake science fiction can make people more aware of the potential power and destruction of earthquakes. For example, movies that depict huge cities being destroyed by massive quakes can shock viewers into realizing the importance of earthquake preparedness.

Cloning science fiction can both positively and negatively influence public perception. On one hand, it can make cloning seem exciting and full of possibilities, like in stories where clones are used to save the human race. On the other hand, it often shows the darker side, such as clones going rogue or being used for evil, which can make the public more fearful of cloning in real life.

Nuclear fiction often presents extreme scenarios. It can make the public overly pessimistic or overly optimistic. Some works may show that humanity can quickly recover from a nuclear event, while others suggest that it's the end of the world. This influences how people think about nuclear energy too. If they read a lot of negative nuclear fiction, they might be more against nuclear power plants.

The concept of World War Z provides a unique and extreme backdrop for Navy fanfiction. It allows for the exploration of the Navy's capabilities in a global apocalyptic situation. For instance, the Navy's ability to operate independently at sea for long periods becomes very important when the land is overrun by zombies.

Legal drama fictions have a profound impact on how the public views the legal system. They often simplify complex legal processes for the sake of storytelling. This can lead the public to have a somewhat inaccurate view. For instance, in many legal dramas, there are always last - minute revelations that turn the case around. In reality, this may not be as common. But at the same time, they can raise awareness about certain legal issues like discrimination in the courtroom or the rights of the accused, which can be positive.

These works often show the collateral damage of war. In 'War of the Worlds', the destruction of cities and the chaos among civilians is depicted vividly. This makes the public think about the innocent lives lost in wars, not just the military aspects. They also question the motives behind wars, as in 'Starship Troopers' where the political and economic motives are explored, which can make the public more critical of real - world wars.
