President's Notes, Edward F. Welch Jr.

Naval War College Review

I am confident that the proven elements of the Center for Naval Warfare Studies, CAR and CWG, with the addition of the Strategic Studies Group, will keep the Naval War College at the van of strategic thought and will provide a new, valuable resource for our naval leaders as they grapple with the complex issues that surround the structure and employment of future naval forces.

"Butcher And Bolt": Admiral Roger Keyes And British Combined Operations, 1940-1941, Glen St. J. Barclay May 2018

"Butcher And Bolt": Admiral Roger Keyes And British Combined Operations, 1940-1941, Glen St. J. Barclay

Naval War College Review

"Amphibious warfare and combined operations," claimed Admiral of the Fleet Lord Roger Keyes, shortly after having been dismissed by Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill from his post as Director of Combined Operations, "is a form of warfare which is responsible for the foundation of our great world­wide Empire."' It would indeed have been difficult for an island power to have acquired an empire any other way.


Blitzkrieg From The Sea: Maneuver Warfare And Amphibious Operations, Richard S. Moore May 2018

Blitzkrieg From The Sea: Maneuver Warfare And Amphibious Operations, Richard S. Moore

Naval War College Review

Recent military events have reinforced a long-held naval belief in the necessity for a maritime nation to maintain an amphibious assault capability. The British reconquest of the Falklands again demonstrated the efficacy of amphibious forces, even when outnumbered and facing high technology, stand-off weapons.

This issue of the Naval War College Review is devoted to the conference on "Security Policy in an Insecure Age," held in Newport from 12 to 15 May, 1982 and sponsored by the Center for Naval Warfare Studies.

A Carrier For Admiral Gorshkov, Dov S. Zakheim May 2018

A Carrier For Admiral Gorshkov, Dov S. Zakheim

Naval War College Review

Over forty years ago, Joseph Stalin outlined to his senior naval officers his ideas for a new and powerful Soviet fleet. Among the ships he suggested for that fleer was the aircraft carrier, whose dominance in naval warfare had yet to be established-and, in fan, was not clearly demonstrated until the Battle of Midway. Stalin never lived to see his hopes fulfilled bur, if Navy testimony and intelligence reports prove accurate, the Soviet fleet will unveil its first large, fixed-wing aircraft carrier some time near the end of this decade.


Theater Nuclear Warfare And The U.S. Navy, T Wood Parker May 2018

Theater Nuclear Warfare And The U.S. Navy, T Wood Parker

Naval War College Review

Although considerable attention has been given to "tactical" nuclear warfare by some people in the U.S. Navy in the last 2 years, the Navy remains woefully deficient in this increasingly important area of operations. To be sure, the Chief of Naval Operations has directed the service to improve itself in this direction. He has established an office in Opnav, Op-65, that is directly responsible for nuclear warfare at seat for appropriate weapons development. and for the employment of those weapons. Additionally, he has established a new program manager, PM-23, in the Naval Material Command, also responsible for nuclear war­fare considerations.

Submarines In Soviet Asw Doctrine And Tactics, Milan Vego May 2018

Submarines In Soviet Asw Doctrine And Tactics, Milan Vego

Naval War College Review

Soviet naval doctrine views antisubmarine warfare as "the basic experience of war at sea as a whole." and it says that " victory will be achieved by the one who will consistently know the location of the submarines of the opposing side and who has the necessary means at his disposal to destroy them. "1 Antisubmarine defense, or PLO (Protivo­lodochnaya oborona), is "a struggle against submarines in a maritime theater of military activities"

Warfare In The Fourth Dimension-Ls The Navy Ready For It?, G. Guy Thomas May 2018

Warfare In The Fourth Dimension-Ls The Navy Ready For It?, G. Guy Thomas

Naval War College Review

Most dictionaries define the fourth dimcnsmn as time, however, some military writings refer to a fourth dimension of military endeavor beyond the three traditional ones of sea, air and land. That dimension is the electromagnetic spectrum. The two concepts rnay, at first glance appear to have little in common with each other but, in fact, they are closely related. The battle for the electromagnetic spectrum is, in many respects, a battle for time.


A Central Role For Naval Forces? ... To Support The Land Battle, Andrew Jampoler May 2018

A Central Role For Naval Forces? ... To Support The Land Battle, Andrew Jampoler

Naval War College Review

Western political and military leaders had some reason for satisfaction as they viewed the globe on the morning of D+30. First, the war was still a conventional one. The past 30 days had seen tragic loss of life and terrible destruction, but nothing like that which would have attended exchanges of tactical nuclear weapons on the continent of Europe.

Weapans Development, War Planning And Policy, J.E. Talbott

Naval War College Review

In revolutionizing war at sea, the submarine exerted a decisive influence on politics ashore, Germany's resort to unrestricted submarine warfare provoked American entry into World War I. The German Government's wager that strangling British seaborne communications would force Great Britain from the war, leaving France to bleed to death alone before American assistance arrived, proved to be a disastrous miscalculation.


President's Notes, James E. Service May 2018

President's Notes, James E. Service

Naval War College Review

A great source of the strength of the Naval War College (NWC) program is in its faculty. It is an unusual faculty in several ways. First, because it teaches both levels of advanced professional military education-the College of Naval Warfare and the College of Naval Command and Staff-colocated in Newport as component units of the Naval War College. That enables us to use our faculty in a most efficient manner, because of the economics of using them twice rather than only once at the senior level. Second, because it contains a heavy inter-service emphasis. Of 52 military faculty, 34 are …


The Evolution Of Soviet Thought On "Warfare In The Fourth Dimension, Floyd D. Kennedy Jr. May 2018

The Evolution Of Soviet Thought On "Warfare In The Fourth Dimension, Floyd D. Kennedy Jr.

Naval War College Review

A number of authors lately have expressed proper concern about thereadiness of the US Navy to conduct warfare in a dimension other than the three conventional media: sea, air, and land.' This additional dimension, the electromagnetic spectrum, is as vital a battlefield in wartime as any of the other three, perhaps even more so. While Americans have consistently been in the forefront of the technical development of electronic warfare (EW) equipment, we have not, at the same time, been quick to exploit its operational utility across the entire spectrum of warfare.

Satellites At Sea: Space And Naval Warfare, Louise Hodgden

Naval War College Review

At present, the most important advances in naval combat capability are not those resulting from changes in the structure of the fleet. Instead, the most salient changes in fleet combat capability have their origins in the modernization of fleet electronics.


Tactical Concentration And Surprise-In Theory, Theodore C. Taylor May 2018

Tactical Concentration And Surprise-In Theory, Theodore C. Taylor

Naval War College Review

In 1914 the brilliant and remarkably versatile English engineer, Frederick William Lanchester, published a series of articles which he later consolidated into a book entitled, Aircraft in Warfare: The Dawn of the Fourth Arm. The best-remembered result of his intellectual excursion into military theory is a simple mathematical expression of the principle of concentration, called the "n-square Law," that defines what Lanchester called the relative "fighting strengths" of military forces in terms of their "numerical strengths" and the "fighting values," of the individual units.


New Soviet Methods For Antisubmarine Warfare?, James M. Mcconnell May 2018

New Soviet Methods For Antisubmarine Warfare?, James M. Mcconnell

Naval War College Review

In the summer of 1982 there was an apparent shift in Soviet views on the future potential for combating submarines. The following points, to be discussed in some detail, trace the perceived evolution of this shift.discussed in some detail, trace the perceived evolution of this shift. From the early 1970s, Soviet emphasis had been on the submarine's great capacity for concealment and the decreasing cost-effectiveness of antisubmarine warfare (ASW) as a "law-governed" trend extending into the foreseeable future.
