The Development And Utilization Of Seapower By Great Britain, Henry H. Adams Jun 2018

The Development And Utilization Of Seapower By Great Britain, Henry H. Adams

Naval War College Review

Admiral Colbert, faculty and students of the School of Naval Warfare, I am very happy to have the opportunity to speak to you this morning on the subject of "The Development and Utilization of Seapower by Greal Britain." The problem is where to begin, how to say anything significant in the space of time allotted to me, and, if possible, stop.


The Role Of The Tracked Amphibian In Modern Amphibious Warfare, Robert C. Caldwell Jun 2018

The Role Of The Tracked Amphibian In Modern Amphibious Warfare, Robert C. Caldwell

Naval War College Review

The development of the tracked amphibian in the years immediately preceding World War II made the island-hopping campaigns of the Pacific War feasible. However, the development of guided missiles, tactical nuclear weapons, and mechanized divisions has made the traditional tactics of amphibious operations increasingly vulnerable.

Overview Of Soviet Strategy, Frank R. Barnett Jun 2018

Overview Of Soviet Strategy, Frank R. Barnett

Naval War College Review

Perhaps the most important change in the overall equation of Soviet strategy that has taken place is the result of apparent improvement in Soviet military capabilities over the past 5 years. Thus, while Moscow's strategy in the past has been largely defense-except in terms of propaganda, subversion, and political warfare is likely that her newly acquired global mobility may tempt her to engage in some overseas military adventures. I would anticipate, unhappily, that we are going to have more problems with the Soviets in the seventies than we did with them in the fifties and sixties.


Mining: A Naval Strategy, Andrew Patterson Jr. Jun 2018

Naval War College Review

The following historic narrative and analysis offer the reader not only a valuable review of past successes and failures of mine campaigns, but also a series of unique insights into possible roles for the mine in contemporary warfare.

Admiral Raymond A. Spruance And The Naval War College Part Ii—From Student To Warrior, Thomas B. Buell

Naval War College Review

Part II of this biography picks up with a letter of reprimand that Commander Spruance had received from the Secretary of the Navy. His experiences as a student and two subsequent tours on the faculty of the Naval War College made him a master artisan in the profession of naval warfare.


The Laws Of Air Warfare: Are There Any?, Hamilton Desaussure Jun 2018

The Laws Of Air Warfare: Are There Any?, Hamilton Desaussure

Naval War College Review

At the present time there is virtually a complete lack of codified international law concerning the rules of aerial warfare. As a result there exist no generally accepted norms regarding such matters as target selection, weapons, or the status of captured aircrewmen.


Tactics Revival At The Nwc, William K. Yates Jun 2018

Tactics Revival At The Nwc, William K. Yates

Naval War College Review

In the new War College curriculum instituted in September 1972, "tactics" was one of the three disciplines taught in the new curricula of both the senior and junior courses. The rationale for studying strategy and management at the War College seemed self-evident, but why tactics? We had come to believe that tactics was a specialized subject which belonged in the domain of functional warfare schools. Tactics is taught in the Fleet ASW School, Air Training Command, Submarine School, and Fleet Anti-Air Warfare School. Yet tactics had virtually disappeared as a subject of study at the Naval War College.


The Role Of Riverine Warfare In The Civil War, John F. Dillon Jun 2018

The Role Of Riverine Warfare In The Civil War, John F. Dillon

Naval War College Review

With the possible exception of the American Revolution, the war between the States marked this country's history and psyche as has no other. Measured in terms of sacrifice that touched almost every home, of battles fought and Jives lost, it was the greatest war in the history of the Nation prior to Pearl Harbor. The tattered flags from its fields of glory are treasured, North and South. Monuments to its heroes stand in all our older cities. 1

Mine Warfare And International Law, Howard S. Levie Jun 2018

Mine Warfare And International Law, Howard S. Levie

Naval War College Review

The insufficiency in which the 1907 Hague Peace Conference was able to deal with the problem of placing some international controls on mine warfare at sea is amply demonstrated in the mining campaigns of both World Wars.

Law Of Naval Warfare, William O. Miller Jun 2018

Law Of Naval Warfare, William O. Miller

Naval War College Review

International law has too often been considered by the layman to be solely the concern of the international lawyer. However, inasmuch as international law pertains to the rights and obligations claimed by all who use the world's oceans, it forms a part of the legitimate concerns of every Navy man.

The Role Of Perception In Naval Diplomacy, Kenneth R. Mcgruther Jun 2018

The Role Of Perception In Naval Diplomacy, Kenneth R. Mcgruther

Naval War College Review

As part of the Naval Presence mission, victory became dependent not on the actual warfare capabilities of the forces, but on their ability to make other actors in the crisis perceive a level of commitment to certain goals.

Missions Of The U.S. Navy, Stansfield Turner Jun 2018

Missions Of The U.S. Navy, Stansfield Turner

Naval War College Review

Observers of military affairs will have noted a changed naval lexicon over the past several years. To those accustomed to phrases such as "sea power," "command of the seas," "commerce warfare," and "amphibious warfare," the new terms, "Strategic Deterrence," "Sea Control," "Presence" may seem to be just a new jargon. Not so. Since 1970 there has been a redefinition of traditional U.S. naval roles and mission s. The primary purpose of this redefinition is to force the Navy to think in terms of output rather than input.


The Psychological Dimension In National Security Planning, Robert F. Delaney Jun 2018

The Psychological Dimension In National Security Planning, Robert F. Delaney

Naval War College Review

Few aspects of modern warfare and statecraft are as alien to American thinking as psychological warfare and psychological operations (PSYOPS). Confusion surrounding the concept of psychological operations in this country begins with the terminology itself inasmuch as we as a nation have dealt with propaganda, information (and its uncomfortable ally-culture), political warfare, psychological warfare, and psychological operations without really thinking of each as interrelated and dependent for its -success upon a coordinated whole.


Duty To Render Assistance To Mariners In Distress During Armed Conflict At Sea: A U.S. Perspective, Raul (Pete) Pedrozo Jun 2018

Duty To Render Assistance To Mariners In Distress During Armed Conflict At Sea: A U.S. Perspective, Raul (Pete) Pedrozo

International Law Studies

In 2017, the International Committee of the Red Cross published an updated Commentary on the Second Geneva Convention. One question left unanswered by the new Commentary is the relationship between international humanitarian law and other international treaties applicable to the maritime domain, such as the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and treaties adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The Second Geneva Convention establishes a legal framework for the humane treatment and protection of victims of armed conflict at sea—the wounded, sick and shipwrecked. There are circumstances, however, in which the belligerents do not have the …


Reflections On The Strategy Of A Continental Commander: Admiral Franz Hipper On Naval Warfare, Tobias R. Philbin Iii Jun 2018

Reflections On The Strategy Of A Continental Commander: Admiral Franz Hipper On Naval Warfare, Tobias R. Philbin Iii

Naval War College Review

There are many similarities in the strategic position of Germany before 1914 and the Soviet Union today. Analogy is no substitute for analysis, but insight into past events can educate our minds—and those of our potential enemies as well—so that we are better able to gain wise and valid insights into current and future situations.

The Trafalgar Syndrome: Jutland And The Indecisiveness Of Modern Naval Warfare, J.A. English Jun 2018

The Trafalgar Syndrome: Jutland And The Indecisiveness Of Modern Naval Warfare, J.A. English

Naval War College Review

It might appear presumptuous to quote a soldier at the outset of what is essentially a naval paper; however, if one recalls that "Generals-at-Sea" were the first admirals, one is reminded of the basic indivisibility of warfare in which light Wellington's remark remains most apposite. That Jellicoe's Jutland flagship was named the Iron Duke adds to the appeal of the quotation.


The War Of Unengaged Forces - Superpowers At Sea In An Era Of Competitive Coexistence, Russell L. Madison Jun 2018

The War Of Unengaged Forces - Superpowers At Sea In An Era Of Competitive Coexistence, Russell L. Madison

Naval War College Review

In this age, the terms "war" and "peace" do not suffice to describe the complex realities with which the statesman and the soldier must grapple. "Unengaged force warfare" is a concept that transcends this difficulty and allows us to examine the critical challenges that face our nation today. The most active frontier in unengaged force warfare at present is at sea, and it is here that the eventual outcome of unengaged force warfare may well be decided.
