The South African Navy And African Maritime Security, Deane-Peter Baker
The South African Navy And African Maritime Security, Deane-Peter Baker
Naval War College Review
History, budgetary constraints, and national policy choices have left the South African Navy unable to contribute substantially to the region’s maritime security. There is hope for change, however, and a possible way forward.
A Remarkable Military Feat: The Hungnam Redeployment, December 1950, Donald Chisholm
A Remarkable Military Feat: The Hungnam Redeployment, December 1950, Donald Chisholm
Naval War College Review
The requirement for amphibious withdrawal does not come along often, but when it does, there is little better guidance than how it was done in December 1950 in Korea—when it had to be done on short notice, on a large scale, and under fire.
American Civil-Military Relations: Samuel P. Huntington And The Political Dimensions Of Military Professionalism, Dayne E. Nix Phd
American Civil-Military Relations: Samuel P. Huntington And The Political Dimensions Of Military Professionalism, Dayne E. Nix Phd
Naval War College Review
Huntington held that the American constitutional system inevitably draws military leaders into the political process. Has the result been a “troubled quality” in American civil-military relations or proof of the vitality of the constitutional system?
What Military Officers Need To Know About Civil-Military Relations, Mackubin Thomas Owens
What Military Officers Need To Know About Civil-Military Relations, Mackubin Thomas Owens
Naval War College Review
How informed are civilian leaders when they choose to commit the military instrument? How well does the prevailing pattern of civil-military relations enable the integration of divergent and even contradictory views? Does this pattern ensure a practical military strategy that properly serves the ends of national policy?
Taking Mines Seriously: Mine Warfare In China’S Near Seas, Scott C. Truver
Taking Mines Seriously: Mine Warfare In China’S Near Seas, Scott C. Truver
Naval War College Review
China has a large, growing, and modernizing capability for naval mines, one that could greatly hinder U.S. operations in any Taiwan scenario. China’s mine-countermeasures capacity is less robust— but so, unfortunately, is the corresponding offensive mining capacity of the United States.

Networking The Global Maritime Partnership, Stephanie Hszieh, George Galdorisi, Terry Mckearney, Darren Sutton
Naval War College Review
The difficulties of multinational naval networking are greater today, and require solutions more urgently, than ever. The work of a five-nation technical cooperation program offers a promising model for addressing them effectively.

Reflections On Reading, John E. Jackson
Naval War College Review
This is the land of the free in more ways than one! One dictionary definition of the word “free” is “enjoying personal rights or liberty.” America is known as the land of the free, and the nation’s military forces remain vigilant to maintain this freedom. But another meaning of “free” is “at no charge or no cost.” A basic tenet of the CNO’s Navy Professional Reading Pro- gram (NPRP) is that books should be made available for free to sailors through- out the fleet. Over 1,200 lending libraries of NPRP books have been established on board ships, in squadrons, and …
Battle Of Surigao Strait, Richard Norton
Battle Of Surigao Strait, Richard Norton
Naval War College Review
The sprawling battle of Leyte Gulf was fought from 23 to 26 October 1944, and nearly seventy years later it still has the power both to fire the imagination and to provide enduring military lessons. As drama goes, the battle (or more pre- cisely, a series of engagements, each deserving a name of its own) is an ap- parently bottomless cornucopia of personalities, desperate gambles, and heroism, as well as of enough “what-ifs” to spawn a cottage industry of alternate histories. In at least one way, Leyte Gulf has similarities to Gettysburg. Both bat- tles have been written about so …
How The Helicopter Changed Modern Warfare, K.J. Delamer
How The Helicopter Changed Modern Warfare, K.J. Delamer
Naval War College Review
“In either case, the helicopter has sig- nificantly changed the face of modern warfare. It has done so despite restric- tions placed on its performance by its inherent design features. And perhaps more than anything else, it has done so because of the brave, talented aircrews who flew the helicopter in the most in- tensely dangerous conditions of warfare that have ever been seen.” So concludes the final chapter of a new and timely book by noted aviation writer and retired U.S. Air Force colo- nel Walter Boyne. This volume revolves around two theses. The first is stated in the …
In My Time: A Personal And Political Memoir, Stephen F. Knott
In My Time: A Personal And Political Memoir, Stephen F. Knott
Naval War College Review
As political memoirs go, Dick Cheney’s In My Time is arguably one of the more candid, in a genre that tends to fall into two categories—the remarkably bland and the overly fulsome. Cheney avoids both these pitfalls in a book that will not change the mind of a single Cheney hater or his small legion of admirers. Cheney was at the center of American politics for almost forty years, and long before he became the Darth Vader of American politics he had a reputation for being one of the ablest and most reform-minded members of the Repub- lican Party.
Just War On Terror? A Christian And Muslim Response, Timothy J. Demy
Just War On Terror? A Christian And Muslim Response, Timothy J. Demy
Naval War College Review
This edited volume provides fourteen essays on various aspects of combating terrorism and insurgencies from a just-war perspective. All the contributors, with the exception of Philip Bobbitt, an American, are from the United Kingdom. Contributors are prominent members of their respective faculties and are well-known within the fields of war and security studies. While the sub- title accentuates religious traditions with respect to the just-war tradition, the volume is not a dialogue between religious perspectives, nor is every chapter devoted to religious interpreta- tions. Rather, the book is a collection of essays, of which two are authored by practicing Muslim …

Review Essays: The Tip Of The Iceberg, Norman Friedman
Review Essays: The Tip Of The Iceberg, Norman Friedman
Naval War College Review
This is at once a timely and somewhat disappointing book. The authors quote numerous Chinese writers as arguing that sea power is essential to a rising China. They also argue, as Mahan did, that any country as dependent on seabsorne trade as China must also be interested in sea power. These ideas may have been controversial when the authors began writing, but the recent appearance of the refitted Chinese aircraft carrier formerly known as Varyag is an indication that should be obvious to all. This is at once a timely and somewhat disappointing book. The authors quote numerous Chinese writers …
The Port Moresby–Solomons Operation And The Allied Reaction, 27 April–11 May 1942, Milan Vego
The Port Moresby–Solomons Operation And The Allied Reaction, 27 April–11 May 1942, Milan Vego
Naval War College Review
The ultimately unsuccessful Japanese attempt to capture Port Moresby in May 1942 is commonly referred to as the “battle of the Coral Sea.” Almost all fo- cus is usually given to the decisive tactical engagement between carrier forces. However, the Japanese effort was officially code-named Moresby Operation and was often called the “Port Moresby–Solomons operation.” In formal terms, it was on the Japanese side a major offensive and joint operation, planned and executed to achieve an op- erational objective—the capture of Port Moresby, on the Australian territory of New Guinea (now Papua New Guinea). For the Allies, in contrast, “the …
Seeking Balance, Swee Lean Collin Koh
Seeking Balance, Swee Lean Collin Koh
Naval War College Review
Despite the widespread proliferation of studies on the major navies in Asia, first and foremost that of China, writings on the small navies of Asia—Southeast Asia in particular—have been few and far between. The slant toward those major navies is warranted by their influence on the regional na- val balance of power. However, it scarcely does justice to the small navies of Southeast Asia, a region of huge maritime geostrategic importance with po- tential security ramifications for wider Asian and global maritime security. Southeast Asia is also the scene of an interesting and serious buildup of sophis- ticated naval capabilities. …
The Republic Of Korea’S Counter-Asymmetric Strategy, Duk-Ki Kim
The Republic Of Korea’S Counter-Asymmetric Strategy, Duk-Ki Kim
Naval War College Review
Since its provocations against Yeonpyeong Island on 23 November 2010, North Korea’s asymmetric threats have emerged as one of the most momentous security issues for the Republic of Korea (ROK).1 After bitter defeats in the First and Second Yeonpyeong Sea Battles, as well as in the Daechung Sea Battle of November 2009, North Korea recognized its disadvantage in symmetric surface-ship provocations. It resorted instead to new and unexpected tactics, utilizing its latest small submarine to torpedo ROKS Cheonan on 26 March 2010. Considered to be the North’s severest military provocation since the Ko- rean War armistice, the sinking of ROKS …
Beijing’S “Starter Carrier” And Future Steps, Andrew S. Erickson, Abraham M. Denmark, Gabriel Collins
Beijing’S “Starter Carrier” And Future Steps, Andrew S. Erickson, Abraham M. Denmark, Gabriel Collins
Naval War College Review
Just as a newlywed couple wants a “starter home,” a new great power wants a “starter carrier.” China’s navy has finally realized its longtime dream of obtaining an aircraft carrier and sending it to sea. This is the first step in a long journey that will change China’s navy and how it relates to the world. At 5:40 AM local time on Wednesday, 10 August 2011, more than eighty years after the idea was originally proposed, China’s first carrier disappeared into the fog under tight security from Dalian harbor’s Xianglujiao Port, in northeast Liaoning Province, to begin sea trials in …

President’S Forum, John N. Christenson
Naval War College Review
THE OCEANS OF THE EARTH cover nearly three-quarters of the blue planet’s surface. They have long been the subject of reflection and study. At Tufts University’s Fletcher School the oceans are being examined as source, avenue, and arena: a source for foodstuffs and energy; an avenue for goods, people, and ideas; and an arena for struggle and warfare. This is a simple but elegant rubric for studying this complex environment, one that aligns well with the educational focus we have at the Naval War College. As students of the oceans, naval officers are keenly aware of the centuries of armed …

Naval War College Review
In what must certainly count as the most newsworthy naval development of 2011, the People’s Republic of China obtained its first aircraft carrier. The as- yet-unnamed vessel—previously Varyag of the Ukrainian navy (and originally the Soviet navy)—which began sea trials in the Yellow Sea last August, clearly represents an important milestone in the ongoing modernization and expan- sion of the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN).
