Naval War College Review
As budget challenges put increasing pressure on the operational forces, the ability to deter both potential adversary nations and terrorists will require the warfighting platforms of the United States to be ready to perform diverse missions in parallel. Transformation of operational and tactical precepts will be required to support these increasing demands. The nuclear-powered guided-missile (actually, cruise-missile) submarine, or SSGN, is just such a transformational asset.
Future Navies—Present Issues, Jane G. Dalton
Future Navies—Present Issues, Jane G. Dalton
Naval War College Review
The U.S. Navy is transforming itself to deal with a wider range of missions than the traditional blue-water, major combat operations that it has tradi- tionally been equipped to handle.1 That emerging transformation has resulted in a number of new programs, technologies, and strategies that raise interesting, and sometimes complex, legal issues. Lawyers advising the Navy’s leadership through this transformational process are analyzing these legal issues now, in the present, to ensure that the future U.S. Navy is properly, and legally, orga- nized, trained, and equipped.
President’S Forum, J. L. Shuford
President’S Forum, J. L. Shuford
Naval War College Review
The King's orders to Nelson underscore the remarkable degree of independence and latitude historically exercised by a captain at sea. By tradition, ships have roamed freely on the high seas and responded as events dictated without further guidance. As a matter of practice driven by limits of communications at sea, mariners of previous generations seldom relied upon consultation, cooperation, or collaboration. Indeed, the U.S. Navy successfully organized itself and operated this way for most of its history.

Space Warfare: Strategy, Principles And Policy, Dana E. Struckman
Space Warfare: Strategy, Principles And Policy, Dana E. Struckman
Naval War College Review
We are a nation inextricably linked to space. Every instrument of our national power—diplomatic, information, mili- tary, economic—relies to some degree on access to and unimpeded use of space. Space Warfare: Strategy, Princi- ples and Policy uses this fact to illustrate its author’s point that despite an in- creasing reliance on space capabilities, the United States has yet to develop a comprehensive space-power theory. Klein has written extensively on space- power theory, and this book builds upon many of his previous works, ad- dressing the need for a national space strategy that adequately links space op- erations with national interests.
The Survival Imperative: Using Space To Protect The Earth, John R. Arpin
The Survival Imperative: Using Space To Protect The Earth, John R. Arpin
Naval War College Review
Nowadays we take for granted that space assets are necessary for military operations, but the nonmilitary use of space has also passed into the realm of the necessary. While the use of space as- sets, and thus access to space, is of vital importance to the nation, there is no watershed work that unites the politi- cal, economic, industrial, and military aspects into a single vision. Space pol- icy, in other words, is still waiting for its Mahan.
Shining Path: Guerrilla War In Peru’S Northern Highlands, 1980–1997, Paul D. Taylor
Shining Path: Guerrilla War In Peru’S Northern Highlands, 1980–1997, Paul D. Taylor
Naval War College Review
In Shining Path Lewis Taylor provides compelling evidence that the attitude of the people can be decisive in war. That point will not surprise students of war- fare; they will recall that two great strat- egists stressed the central importance of having the people on your side. Focusing primarily on state-to-state conflict, Carl von Clausewitz coined the notion that war’s dominant tendencies make a “paradoxical trinity,” of which one pole comprises primordial violence, hatred, and enmity, a blind natural force. The passions, Clausewitz wrote, “that are to be kindled in war must already be in- herent in the people.” Concentrating …
Addicted To Failure: U.S. Security Policy In Latin Americaand The Andean Region, Richard Norton
Addicted To Failure: U.S. Security Policy In Latin Americaand The Andean Region, Richard Norton
Naval War College Review
It does not take exceptional analytical talent to recognize that U.S. policies in the Andean region of South America face severe challenges, especially those dealing with the war on drugs. Neither does it take an exceptional historian to recognize that the United States has all too often paid insufficient attention to its regional neighbors and partners. Finally, it takes no exceptional mastery of international relations to recognize that South America is becoming in- creasingly important to the safety, well- being, and future prosperity of the United States. For all these reasons, a clear explanation of U.S. policies in the region …
From Mahan To Pearl Harbor:The Imperial Japanese Navy And The United States, James R. Holmes
From Mahan To Pearl Harbor:The Imperial Japanese Navy And The United States, James R. Holmes
Naval War College Review
Sea power analysts surveying the “rise” of China commonly compare this emerging Asian titan to imperial Germany, whose unification upset the European great- power concert ushered in after Waterloo, and for good reason. Naval enthusiasts like Kaiser Wilhelm II and Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz, their imaginations fired by the works of Alfred Thayer Mahan, hurled Germany into naval competition with Great Britain, the dominant naval power of the day, with fateful results. References to Mahan are now routine among Chinese strategic thinkers. Will China’s Mahanians prod Beijing onto a similar path to sea power, and will similar results ensue?
Taiwan’S Security: History And Prospects, Michael S. Chase
Taiwan’S Security: History And Prospects, Michael S. Chase
Naval War College Review
Given the importance of the Taiwan is- sue for U.S. foreign and security policy in East Asia, it is striking that relatively little has been written on Taiwan’s de- fense reform and modernization programs, especially in contrast to the substantial amount of work scholars and policy analysts have produced in recent years on Chinese military mod- ernization and its implications for re- gional security. Bernard Cole’s Taiwan’s Security: History and Prospects, which provides a comprehensive and well written assessment of recent develop- ments in Taiwan’s defense establish- ment, represents an important step in filling this gap.

China’S Rising Sea Power: The Pla Navy’S Submarine Challenge,, Peter J. Woolley
Naval War College Review
Peter Howarth, an Australian former diplomat and intelligence analyst, pres- ents an excellent mix of strategic the- ory, political dynamics, and tactical detail in considering the Chinese sub- marine fleet. His treatment demon- strates a keen understanding of both parts of the phrase “politico-military strategy,” and it is the type of thinking that Jeffrey Record of the Air War Col- lege recently opined is too often miss- ing in the American community.
The Science Of Military Strategy,, Andrew S. Erickson
The Science Of Military Strategy,, Andrew S. Erickson
Naval War College Review
This first English-language volume on strategy by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) was translated by a team of experts at the Academy of Military Sci- ences from the original Chinese-language version (Zhanlüexue, 2001). Edited by two major generals with significant ability to shape PLA strategy as advisers to China’s powerful Central Military Commission (CMC) and Politburo Standing Committee, this volume un- doubtedly reflects elements of critical policy trends in Beijing and hence merits close examination by foreign researchers and policy makers. Since this book has deliberately been made accessible to an overseas audience, it is im- portant to reflect on …

Naval Response To A Changed Security Environment, Alan Lee Boyer
Naval Response To A Changed Security Environment, Alan Lee Boyer
Naval War College Review
The capacity of the European Command to contribute to security and stabil- ity in its Mediterranean area of responsibility depends on its ability to de- velop and execute operational concepts and capabilities that are appropriate to the security environment in which it operates.1 In the maritime domain of the Mediterranean, the threats are largely transnational in character and can be effectively dealt with only in cooperation with regional partners.
U.S. Naval Diplomacy In The Black Sea, Deborah Sanders
U.S. Naval Diplomacy In The Black Sea, Deborah Sanders
Naval War College Review
Naval diplomacy—the use of naval power in peacetime to secure influence by contemporary navies is seen by many as playing a vital and unique role in promoting the international aims of governments. The U.S. Navy’s Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Michael Mullen, clearly recognizes the diplomatic utility of naval power: “Navies are not only critical, decisive, and enabling in times of war, but they may be even more important in maintaining the peace.”
Suppression Of Piracy And Maritime Terrorism, Martin N. Murphy
Suppression Of Piracy And Maritime Terrorism, Martin N. Murphy
Naval War College Review
On 12 October 2000, two men from an organization aligned with al-Qa‘ida loaded a rigid raider (a small boat with glass-reinforced-plastic hull) withexplosives and drove it into the side of the guided-missile destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67). Seventeen sailors lost their lives. This was a seminal event. It epitomized small war versus “big” war and the threat that small-war tactics could present to “big war” fleets. It was also an echo of the U.S. Navy’s past. As the initial alarm faded, the Navy’s response became largely inward looking and defensive, limited for the most part to the implementation of more …
Sailing To A New Port, James G. Stavridis
Sailing To A New Port, James G. Stavridis
Naval War College Review
When Admiral Shuford asked me to make a trip to Newport, it brought back wonderful memories of my time here as a junior officer, with Lieu- tenant Jake Shuford. I can’t say much more about that, mostly on advice of coun- sel, but suffice to say it was a wonderful time and involved jazz festivals, a lot of time on the tennis court, sailing, and an occasional cold beer. It’s wonderful and inspiring to see what a joint, interagency, and international event this is today. I do want to begin with a story which illustrates a bit about each of …

Naval War College Review
When the Chief of Naval personnel recently visited Newport, he asked just what it was that made the Naval War College different from the other service colleges. Without hesitation, I replied: “Our faculty.” The worldwide reputation of this faculty is a source of great pride—not only to me but to the naval services and the Department of Defense. I miss no opportunity to emphasize how the talent that resides in the faculty and its tireless efforts make this College the preeminent institution that it is.

Decision At Sea: Five Naval Battles That Shaped American History, William Lloyd Stearman
Decision At Sea: Five Naval Battles That Shaped American History, William Lloyd Stearman
Naval War College Review
What history buff could possibly resist the subtitle “Five Naval Battles That Shaped American History”? Those so enticed will not be disappointed in Craig Symond’s exceptionally well writ- ten and fascinating accounts of these American naval battles: Oliver Hazard Perry’s far-reaching victory over the British in the 10 September 1813 battle for Lake Erie; the 8–9 March 1862 bat- tle of Hampton Roads (which ended in a draw) between America’s first iron- clad ships, USS Monitor and CSS Vir- ginia; the 1 May 1898 battle of Manila Bay; the 4 June 1942 battle of Midway; and the 18 April 1988 …

Naval War College Review
This is a timely book. It is a collection of rarely read wartime reports and post– World War I articles that wrestle with the consequences of war and were writ- ten by the British officer T. E. Lawrence, otherwise known as Lawrence of Ara- bia, one of the greatest theoreticians and practitioners of modern guerrilla warfare. Lawrence, of course, is best known for his book The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, which describes the British-inspired- and-supported
Pakistan: Between Mosque And Military, Amer Latif
Pakistan: Between Mosque And Military, Amer Latif
Naval War College Review
Five years into the U.S.-led global war on terror, Pakistan remains a corner- stone of U.S. strategy in defeating the Taliban and rooting out al-Qa‘ida. De- spite the importance of Pakistan, it is a country that poses challenges for the United States. A key challenge is the dominant role of the military, which seeks to balance its commitments as a valuable U.S. partner with its role as a guardian of the country’s Islamic identity through its close relationship with Pakistan’s religious establishment. How Pakistan manages these commit- ments has serious implications for U.S. policy.
Strategy And History: Essays On Theory And Practice, Timothy D. Hoyt
Strategy And History: Essays On Theory And Practice, Timothy D. Hoyt
Naval War College Review
This volume is largely successful not only in emphasizing the continuity and wisdom of Colin Gray’s long-standing defense of the study of strategy but in capturing his delight in skewering the latest intellectual fads in both American and British security theory. Strategy and History is a rich and occasionally pro- vocative read for any student of strat- egy, military issues, or international relations, and it reinforces the need to study strategy—the relationship be- tween military force and desired politi- cal objectives.

Merchant Shipping In A Chinese Blockade Of Taiwan, Michael C. Grubb
Merchant Shipping In A Chinese Blockade Of Taiwan, Michael C. Grubb
Naval War College Review
There is a substantial literature on the various methods and tactics the armed forces of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) could employ to enforce a naval blockade of Taiwan during a Taiwan Strait crisis.1 However, there has been very little assessment of how the qualities of today’s global maritime shipping industry might affect the effectiveness of a blockade.
China’S Future Nuclear Submarine Force, Andrew S. Erickson, Lyle J. Goldstein
China’S Future Nuclear Submarine Force, Andrew S. Erickson, Lyle J. Goldstein
Naval War College Review
On 26 October 2006, a Chinese Song-class attack submarine reportedly surfaced in close proximity to the USS Kitty Hawk carrier battle group in international waters near Okinawa.1 This was not the fi rst time that Chinese sub- marines have attracted extensive media attention. The advent of the Yuan-class SSK in mid-2004 seems to have had a major impact in transforming the assess- ments of Western naval analysts, and also of the broader community of analysts studying China’s military modernization.
The Limits Of Intelligence In Maritimecounterproliferation Operations, Craig H. Allen
The Limits Of Intelligence In Maritimecounterproliferation Operations, Craig H. Allen
Naval War College Review
It might come as a surprise to many of those immersed in the current debate over how best to guard against the further proliferation of weapons of mass destruc- tion (WMD) that the alarm over the “growing number of nations in positions to acquire mass annihilation weapons” and the potentially synergistic threat of state-sponsored terrorism was sounded at least two decades ago, in Reagan-era naval maritime strategy documents authored by Admiral James Watkins.
Strategic Culture And Its Relationship To Naval Strategy, Roger W. Barnett
Strategic Culture And Its Relationship To Naval Strategy, Roger W. Barnett
Naval War College Review
At the Naval War College’s Current Strategy Forum in June 2006, the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Michael Mullen, called for the creation of a new maritime strategy. The key for the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard in for- mulating a new strategy will be in describing how, within the context of a national military strategy, maritime forces can make a strategic difference.
President’S Forum, Jake L. Shuford
President’S Forum, Jake L. Shuford
Naval War College Review
There have been a number of attempts over the past decade to create a coherent and comprehensive education policy for the Navy and a strat- egy to implement it. Efforts over the past year have been very encouraging, and it appears that we may well be moving toward realizing this objective. In his Guid- ance for 2007, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) has advanced the primary objective of completing and executing a Navy Education Strategy that emphasizes “critical thinking, leadership, cultural awareness, jointness, innovation, and adaptability.”One certain thing that this strategy must do is to ensure an inventory of …

Naval War College Review
As the Navy, the Naval War College in particular, continues to work toward the articulation of a new maritime strategy, it is well to be reminded that such a strategy will encompass more than the Navy itself. Admiral Michael Mullen, Chief of Naval Operations, has introduced the concept of the “thousand-ship navy” in order to underline the vital role of international cooperation in the maritime domain to meet the threats of today and tomorrow.
