Peak Oil, Progressivism, And Josephus Daniels, 1913–21, Roger Stern
Peak Oil, Progressivism, And Josephus Daniels, 1913–21, Roger Stern
Naval War College Review
Daniels’s time as Secretary of the Navy was activated by Progressivism and peak oil. To preserve the Naval Oil Reserve, Daniels ultimately resorted to seizing oil, always at a below-market price and sometimes without compensation at all. His campaign to save the Navy from both peak oil and the ostensible predations of “big oil” ended in fiasco—fuel-oil seizures led by armed Marines.

A “New Look” At Cold War Maritime Defense—The Royal Canadian Navy’S Seaward Defence Report And The Threat Of The Missile-Firing Submarine, 1955, Michael Whitby
Naval War College Review
The Soviets’ development in the mid-1950s of the capability to launch nuclear-armed missiles from conventional submarines constituted a significant challenge to Allied antisubmarine forces during the Cold War, impacting the U.S. Navy and Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) most. The RCN’s 1955 Seaward Defence Report reveals how a midsize navy with comparatively limited resources charged with defending a long coastline and valuable strategic targets proposed to cope with dramatically changing circumstances.
“Neither Fish Nor Fowl Nor Yet Good Red Herring”—Joint Institutions, Single-Service Priorities, And Amphibious Capabilities In Postwar Britain, Ian Speller
Naval War College Review
A joint approach to institutional responsibility for amphibious warfare served British needs during the Second World War but contributed to poor results after 1945. British capabilities did not recover until amphibious warfare became the particular responsibility of the naval service.

“Things Done By Halves”—Observations From America’S First Great-Power Competition, Benjamin F. Armstrong
Naval War College Review
By looking to the maritime past and scuttling the idea that somehow the “gray zones” of today have initiated something unique to our contemporary world, naval forces will be better prepared to address the challenges presented by maritime security, naval irregular warfare, and great-power friction on the world’s oceans. An examination of the Quasi War with France illuminates key questions for strategists and planners considering the interactions among great powers.

Conditional Surrender—Conflict Termination In The Pacific, 1945, Richard J. Shuster, Takuya Shimodaira
Conditional Surrender—Conflict Termination In The Pacific, 1945, Richard J. Shuster, Takuya Shimodaira
Naval War College Review
As early as mid-1943, the strategic political and military leadership on both sides began to see the inevitability of a U.S. victory over Japan. The combatants each sought an end on terms favorable to their respective national interests: the United States pushed relentlessly for unconditional surrender, while Japan sought to force a negotiated settlement. What were the factors and actions that led from military victory to a conditional surrender that set the conditions for a smooth transition to postwar stability in Japan?

Sir John Orde And The Trafalgar Campaign—A Failure Of Information Sharing, J. Ross Dancy, Evan Wilson
Sir John Orde And The Trafalgar Campaign—A Failure Of Information Sharing, J. Ross Dancy, Evan Wilson
Naval War College Review
When France’s Toulon Fleet appeared off Cádiz in April 1805, Orde possessed more information about the whereabouts and strength of the Combined Fleet than any other British flag officer, placing immense responsibility on him to share that information widely and quickly. But in this he failed, costing Lord Nelson a good chance of bringing the campaign to a halt six months before Trafalgar, and providing an example of a failure to achieve mission command.

“Improbable Allies”—The North Korean Downing Of A U.S. Navy Ec-121 And U.S.-Soviet Cooperation During The Cold War, Bill Streifer, Irek Sabitov
Naval War College Review
In April 1969, North Korea shot down a USN reconnaissance plane. Soviet surface ships were first on the scene and contributed to a joint U.S.-USSR search-and-rescue/recovery operation—a rare example of cooperation between traditional Cold War adversaries.

Operation Earnest Will—The U.S. Foreign Policy Behind U.S. Naval Operations In The Persian Gulf 1987–89; A Curious Case, Andrew R. Marvin
Naval War College Review
The Navy’s 1987 EARNEST WILL deployment to the Persian Gulf was anomalous because of its size, its ferocity, and its adoption in the face of congressional opposition. What strategic forces drove EARNEST WILL, and what practical realities drive states’ foreign policies?
Leadership And Decision—From Accountability To Punishment, Michael Junge
Leadership And Decision—From Accountability To Punishment, Michael Junge
Naval War College Review
As the Navy reenters an era of great-power competition, we should evaluate our culture of command and relearn precise language before we jettison superb commanding officers for ahistorical reasons.

Research & Debate: Prediction, Wayne P. Hughes Jr.
Naval War College Review
The predictive power of experts, operations analysis, and the value of information are interwoven subjects that are hard to winnow down to an essence. Prediction is a big subject, so I have limited this article to what I know best: the operational and tactical domains of conventional warfare.
Neptune’S Oracle: Admiral Harry E. Yarnell’S Wartime Planning, 1918–20 And 1943–44, Frank A. Blazich Jr.
Neptune’S Oracle: Admiral Harry E. Yarnell’S Wartime Planning, 1918–20 And 1943–44, Frank A. Blazich Jr.
Naval War College Review
Admiral Yarnell’s training at the Naval War College combined with his planning experiences of 1918–20 and 1943–44 to instill ideas and methodologies that he applied throughout his career. His study of military history and his half century of service equipped him admirably to provide Navy leadership with sound foundations for further planning efforts. Yarnell’s strategic vision profoundly influenced the interwar Navy and the force that entered the Cold War era.
