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.

Taking Stock, James B. Stockdale Jun 2018

Taking Stock, James B. Stockdale

Naval War College Review

In my frantic rush to catch up on the eight years of American history that I missed, I am often appalled by the studied, analytic approach to warfare taken by so many of the educated, well-intentioned individuals who directed our war in Vietnam. If my understanding of their reasoning is to remain lacking, so much the better. For he who supports the position that warfare and warriors are just other things to which the rational concepts of business and economics apply is missing the mark.

Charting A New Course: The Knox-Pye-King Board And Naval Professional Education, 1919–23, David Kohnen

Naval War College Review

By attacking the problem of professional military education openly and without deference to higher-ranking personalities or bureaucratic protocols, the Knox-Pye-King Board helped place the U.S. Navy on the course that would educate the personnel who would secure the strategic victories of the Second World War and lead the service into the Cold War era.

Into The Abyss?: European Naval Power In The Post–Cold War Era, Jeremy Stöhs

Naval War College Review

A survey of how Europe’s naval forces have evolved since the end of the Cold War amid a complex and threatening security environment.
