Race To The North: China’S Arctic Strategy And Its Implications, Shiloh Rainwater Mar 2018

Race To The North: China’S Arctic Strategy And Its Implications, Shiloh Rainwater

Naval War College Review

The effects of the emerging and prospective economic and strategic opportunities in the Arctic are being felt far beyond the circumpolar states. China, for one, has begun to promulgate the notion that it is a “near-Arctic state” and a stakeholder in the affairs of the High North.


The “Consequent Interest” Of Japan’S Southwestern Islands: A Mahanian Appraisal Of The Ryukyu Archipelago, Eric Sayers Mar 2018

The “Consequent Interest” Of Japan’S Southwestern Islands: A Mahanian Appraisal Of The Ryukyu Archipelago, Eric Sayers

Naval War College Review

The now little-known Ryukyu Archipelago may be—for reasons adduced by Alfred Thayer Mahan in another century, for other islands—of much significance today for protection of Japanese and U.S. maritime interests in the Northwest Pacific.


Naval Operations In Peacetime: Not Just “Warfare Lite”, Ivan T. Luke Mar 2018

Naval Operations In Peacetime: Not Just “Warfare Lite”, Ivan T. Luke

Naval War College Review

Naval strategists and practitioners will need to be smart about how they approach peacetime missions, yet existing naval theory fails to support the necessary full understanding. It needs to catch up.

Keep A Weather Eye On The Horizon: A Navy Officer Retention Study, Guy M. Snodgrass

Naval War College Review

The U.S. Navy is about to face its most challenging officer retention problem in more than two decades. How are we to outrun the approaching storm? A serving officer takes an in-depth look at factors impacting retention, compares them to historical retention downturns, evaluates Fortune 500 approaches for retaining talent, and offers actionable recommendations.


Consequences, Nicholas Rostow Mar 2018

Consequences, Nicholas Rostow

Naval War College Review

As has been the case since 1945, the ultimate nightmare is general war among the great powers resulting in widespread use of nuclear weapons. A breakdown in minimum public order may make that bad dream become reality.


Amphibious Operations And The Evolution Of Australian Defense Policy, Peter J. Dean Mar 2018

Amphibious Operations And The Evolution Of Australian Defense Policy, Peter J. Dean

Naval War College Review

“The tyranny of dissonance” among Australia’s geography, history, values, and political interests has begun to recede, and amphibious capability, long marginal in the nation’s defense strategy, will be playing a critical role.

Reflections On Reading, John E. Jackson Mar 2018

Reflections On Reading, John E. Jackson

Naval War College Review

Nearly two centuries ago, Samuel Southard, the Secretary of the Navy, ordered that every ship in the fledgling U.S. Navy be provided with a professional library of thirty-seven books on topics including mathematics, history, and phi- losophy. It was recognized in the earliest days of our Navy that a robust reading program could greatly improve the quality of the force. This is no less true to- day. In October 2012, in conjunction with the Navy’s 237th birthday, the Navy launched the new Chief of Naval Operations’ Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP).


Commentary, John F. O’Connell Mar 2018

Commentary, John F. O’Connell

Naval War College Review

This essay describes an incident of some thirty years ago that involved relations between the United States and Japan. It stemmed from a chance encounter at sea in international waters, between a U.S. warship and a Japanese commercial vessel. If there are lessons to be learned from this event, it is that small things matter; they are like grains of sand that gum up the machinery of smooth international relations. At the time, I was defense and naval attaché to the American embassy at Tokyo, where I became involved in the situation after the fact. To my knowledge, this is …


Sea Control Through The Eyes Of The Person Who Does It, Christofer Waldenström Mar 2018

Sea Control Through The Eyes Of The Person Who Does It, Christofer Waldenström

Naval War College Review

This article suggests a new perspective on the old problem of protecting ships at sea, for two reasons. First, although screen tactics and other defensive measures have been developed and used for many years, this new perspective will be useful in addressing two developments since the late nineteenth century: attackers are no longer just other ships but also aircraft, submarines, and, recently, missiles with very long ranges launched from the land; also, torpedo boats, coastal submarines, and mines have complicated operations in congested and archipelagic waters.


Replacing Battleships With Aircraft Carriers In The Pacific In World War Ii, Thomas C. Hone Mar 2018

Replacing Battleships With Aircraft Carriers In The Pacific In World War Ii, Thomas C. Hone

Naval War College Review

This is a case study of operational and tactical innovation in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Its purpose is to erase a myth—the myth that Navy tactical and operational doctrine existing at the time of Pearl Harbor facilitated a straightforward substitution of carriers for the battleship force that had been severely damaged by Japanese carrier aviation on 7 December 1941. That is not what happened.


Globalization, Security, And Economic Well-Being, Stephen M. Carmel Mar 2018

Globalization, Security, And Economic Well-Being, Stephen M. Carmel

Naval War College Review

Globalization and interconnected economies are topics of keen interest to me, both from my academic background and also from my position in interna- tional shipping. The container and advances in information technology, coevolv- ing with advances in business organization, are perhaps more than any other combination of factors responsible for trade as we know it today—characterized by disaggregated supply chains and trade focused on tasks, not goods—a topic explored in detail later.


The Hattendorf Prize Lecture: The Perils Of History, N.A.M Rodger Mar 2018

The Hattendorf Prize Lecture: The Perils Of History, N.A.M Rodger

Naval War College Review

According to Hegel, we learn from history that we do not learn from history.* We also learn that historians are deeply unreliable, and never more so than when they are foolish enough to predict the future. Historians, in fact, would certainly be the worst possible guides to the policy maker, were it not for the alternative. But the alternative is not other people with better information but other people with no information, for it is the past that makes the present and the future. All of us, as individuals, as organizations, and as societies, have per- sonalities that are made …


President’S Forum, John N. Christenson Mar 2018

President’S Forum, John N. Christenson

Naval War College Review

Medal of Honor award recipient Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale was the fortieth President of the Naval War College. I recently had the great honor of delivering the sixteenth annual Stockdale Lecture at the University of San Diego, with Mrs. Sybil Stockdale in the audience. I learned afterward in feedback about the lecture that during the “Q&A” I had provided a most unexpected answer to a midshipman’s question concerning leadership.


From The Editors, Pelham G. Boyer Mar 2018

From The Editors, Pelham G. Boyer

Naval War College Review

There is a powerful undercurrent of thought throughout our defense establish- ment that doubts the value of the study of history for addressing today’s security challenges. It is sometimes said—and more commonly assumed—that the pace of technological development in this new age of networked communications and precision targeting is rapidly rendering obsolete the lessons of past international conflicts. In remarks delivered to the Naval War College’s Twentieth International Seapower Symposium on 20 October 2011 as the inaugural Hattendorf Prize Lecture, the distinguished British naval historian N. A. M. Rodger defends the study of history by military professionals and contemporary statesmen.

Innovation For Its Own Sake: The Type Xxi U-Boat, Marcus O. Jones Mar 2018

Innovation For Its Own Sake: The Type Xxi U-Boat, Marcus O. Jones

Naval War College Review

The World War II German navy’s Type XXI submarine is sometimes derided as a wishful “wonder weapon.” But in context of a decision to impose ruthless and innovative technocratic priorities, it appears more rational. It may also serve as a cautionary example of the extent to which social explanations of technological adaptation must include appreciation of constraints on military effectiveness.
