The Secretary And Cno On 23–24 October 1962, William H.J. Manthorpe Jr.
The Secretary And Cno On 23–24 October 1962, William H.J. Manthorpe Jr.
Naval War College Review
The Cuban missile crisis was a defining moment in the career of the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) at the time, Admiral George W. Anderson, Jr. His leadership of the Navy during the crisis has become the most prominent role accorded to him in history. Yet his relationship during the crisis with the Secretary of Defense, Robert S. McNamara, has been cited as the factor that brought to a premature end his tour as CNO and his naval career. Among the events that affected the admiral’s relationship with the secretary during the crisis were those that took place on 23–24 …
Cyber War, Cybered Conflict, And The Maritime Domain, Peter Dombrowski, Chris C. Demchak
Cyber War, Cybered Conflict, And The Maritime Domain, Peter Dombrowski, Chris C. Demchak
Naval War College Review
Those who dismiss cyber war as mere hype or as driven by potential profits dismiss much too quickly growing evidence of the importance of cyber operations—to which the Navy may be uniquely qualified to adapt.

Creating The 1980s Maritime Strategy And Implications For Today, John T. Hanley Jr.
Naval War College Review
The approaches that allowed the Chief of Naval Operations’ Strategic Studies Group to contribute so vitally to the U.S. Navy’s 1986 maritime strategy might be effective as well in confronting the challenges that the Navy faces today.

Duty: Memoirs Of A Secretary At War, Thomas Hone
Duty: Memoirs Of A Secretary At War, Thomas Hone
Naval War College Review
The title of Duty could easily be So You Want to Be the Secretary of War, Violence, and Suffering? Gates’s memoir takes the glamour out of the position and makes sure the reader grasps just how personally drain- ing and ethically frustrating the job can be. It is a book worth reading, if only to learn more about the scope of the issues that typically face any conscientious Secretary of Defense.

Future Mine Countermeasures, Martin Schwarz
Future Mine Countermeasures, Martin Schwarz
Naval War College Review
Admiral Smith’s point might be as valid today as it was sixty-four years ago. It refers to mines that he faced off the coast of Korea. Naval (or sea) mines are, by themselves or in combination with other weapons, a promising choice to parties pursuing antiaccess/area-denial objectives. The number of mines in the stocks of countries around the world and the ease of laying them mean that sea control is very likely to be lost again in future tension and conflict. This article is an attempt to describe the means, and to some extent the methods, under con- sideration to …
The Littoral Arena, Yedidia Ya’Ari
The Littoral Arena, Yedidia Ya’Ari
Naval War College Review
The shift of naval focus toward the littoral arena that has resulted from the dramatic changes in the geostrategic environment reflects a major rethink- ing of the role and objectives of sea power in the foreseeable future. Clearly these fundamental changes will result in an adjustment of the relative weight of “green water” and “brown water” missions on one hand and the high seas, which have been dominant in naval strategic thinking throughout this century, on the other. This article raises the question, however, of whether the process of transforma- tion is taking fully into account the scope of the …
A Theory Of Naval Airpower, Robert C. Rubel
A Theory Of Naval Airpower, Robert C. Rubel
Naval War College Review
The U.S. Navy has never been comfortable with theory or doctrine at what is now known as the operational level of war. The Navy has always pos- sessed robust ship- and formation-level doctrine—tactics—and of course has embraced the high-level sea-power theories of both Alfred Thayer Mahan and Julian Corbett. The gap in the middle either has not been needed—as has been essentially the case for most of the Navy’s history except for World War II—or has been filled by adaptive practice in the form of specific campaign or opera- tions plans. For the Navy, the old framework of strategy and …
China’S Maritime Disputes In The East And South China Seas, Peter A. Dutton
China’S Maritime Disputes In The East And South China Seas, Peter A. Dutton
Naval War College Review
China pursues its security through interior strategies that involve the develop- ment of rings of security around central areas of national interest. The Chi- nese have long felt vulnerable from the sea, and their current maritime strategy seeks to reduce that vulnerability by extending a ring of maritime control around China’s periphery. China pursues this control through a combination of force- structure development and legal assertions.

Naval War College Review
In recent testimony to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Peter A. Dutton of the Naval War College offered a timely and incisive analysis of the aims and tactics of China in its ongoing maritime disputes in the East and South China Seas. We take the liberty (with his permission, of course) of reproducing that tes- timony here. Professor Dutton emphasizes the sophisticated—indeed, sophistical —strategy the Chinese have pursued in the international legal arena, so far with some apparent success. He believes that our allies in the region are anxious to see the United States take a greater leadership role on …
Kamikazes: The Soviet Legacy, Maksim Y. Tokarev
Kamikazes: The Soviet Legacy, Maksim Y. Tokarev
Naval War College Review
Throughout history, despite the influence of Alfred Thayer Mahan’s concepts, continental European and Asian navies have had a simple choice to make either to create a balanced fleet to engage another balanced fleet at sea and defeat it in one or more “decisive battles” or to take an “asymmetrical approach,” creating an “unbalanced” navy, able to prevent the enemy from achieving sea control and to keep one’s own vital sea lines of communication (SLOCs), if one has any, untouched by the enemy’s naval forces.

Review Essay: Grand Strategy And World Order, Karl Walling
Review Essay: Grand Strategy And World Order, Karl Walling
Naval War College Review
From the end of the Cold War in 1989–91 and with increasing urgency in the immediate aftermath of 11 September 2001, perhaps few subjects seemed more important to those who frame and study strategy than developing a new American grand strategy for the twenty-first century. Who would play the role of George Washington in his Farewell Address advising Americans to steer clear of permanent alliances (he did not say “entangling alliances”—that was Thomas Jefferson’s phrase in his first inaugural message; Washington’s brilliant speech- writer, Alexander Hamilton, accepted that temporary alliances might be neces- sary or advisable from time to time, …
Frogmen Against A Fleet: The Italian Attack On Alexandria 18/19 December 1941, Vincent P. O’Hara, Enrico Cernuschi
Frogmen Against A Fleet: The Italian Attack On Alexandria 18/19 December 1941, Vincent P. O’Hara, Enrico Cernuschi
Naval War College Review
In March 1939 Italy’s Regia Marina established a specialized and secret naval warfare unit called Decima Flottiglia MAS (Motoscafo Anti Sommergibili), generally known as the 10th Light Flotilla or X MAS. This unit was innovative, in that it employed selected, highly trained personnel using special weapons and delivery systems to conduct sneak attacks. On the night of 18 December 1941, six members of this unit penetrated the main British naval base in the eastern Mediterranean at Alexandria, Egypt, and disabled the Mediterranean Fleet’s two battleships, a tanker, and a destroyer. In few military endeavors has so little been risked to …

Bulgaria has made progress in building a navy able to advance its interests in the Black Sea and work alongside NATO allies, but modernization and professionalization have been slow and difficult.
The Law Of Cyber Targeting, Michael N. Schmitt
The Law Of Cyber Targeting, Michael N. Schmitt
Naval War College Review
Cyber technology on the battlefield has outpaced the law, or at least full understanding of how extant law governs emerging capabilities—a strategically perilous state of affairs.

The Key To Midway: Coral Sea And A Culture Of Learning, Carl Cavanagh Hodge
The Key To Midway: Coral Sea And A Culture Of Learning, Carl Cavanagh Hodge
Naval War College Review
Was the battle of Midway won or lost? In a recent edition of the Naval War College Review, James Levy grappled with some of the recurrent issues found in the scholarship of the battle of Midway, all of them related to the question whether one or another aspect of the Japanese way of war led to a catastrophic defeat at the hands of the U.S. Navy. Levy observes that an assumption common to many works is “that the Japanese did as much to lose the battle as the Americans did to win it, or more.”
China’S Blue Soft Power, Andrew S. Erickson, Austin M. Strange
China’S Blue Soft Power, Andrew S. Erickson, Austin M. Strange
Naval War College Review
On 3 September 2014, almost six years since Chinese warships first entered the Gulf of Aden to fulfill antipiracy duties, China Central Television (CCTV)–8 aired the first episode of “In the Gulf of Aden” (舰在亚丁湾). The multidozen-episode program, designed to “ignite raging patriotism” (燃起熊 熊爱国心), given evening prime-time status, and attracting a popular audience with a star-studded cast, explores in dramatic fashion Beijing’s experience fighting modern piracy.
The Race To The Bottom, Jan Joel Andersson
The Race To The Bottom, Jan Joel Andersson
Naval War College Review
The growing need to protect global shipping routes and the intensification of maritime territorial conflicts have led to a naval arms buildup around the world. Perhaps the most-cited example of this new focus on naval power is the increasing number of countries building or planning new aircraft carriers, but many analysts are more concerned about the proliferation of modern attack submarines. Often considered the ultimate weapon of naval warfare, submarines are versatile platforms able to attack surface ships, conduct antisubmarine war- fare (ASW), deploy mines, and, as they are increasingly equipped with missiles, attack land targets.

In My View, Robert C. Rubel
In My View, Robert C. Rubel
Naval War College Review
I read the Winter 2016 article by Jonathan Altman, entitled “Russian A2/AD in the Eastern Mediterranean: A Growing Risk,” and I would like to highlight the urgency of securing NATO’s southern flank. NATO needs a stronger presence in the Mediterranean to monitor activities and prevent attacks on its members. U.S. Chief of Naval Operations Admiral John Richardson has stated that there is no plan to bolster scarce U.S. naval resources in the eastern Mediterranean. This means NATO must adapt by increasing its presence on its southern flank and boosting the military power of existing members to deter aggression in the …
