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.


Promising Privateers?: Understanding The Constraints Of Contemporary Private Security At Sea, Christopher Spearin Mar 2018

Promising Privateers?: Understanding The Constraints Of Contemporary Private Security At Sea, Christopher Spearin

Naval War College Review

A clear understanding of the current nature and activities of private military and security companies at sea is important to assess accurately their future implications. Are they modern-day privateers?


Cyber War, Cybered Conflict, And The Maritime Domain, Peter Dombrowski, Chris C. Demchak Mar 2018

Cyber War, Cybered Conflict, And The Maritime Domain, Peter Dombrowski, Chris C. Demchak

Naval War College Review

Those who dismiss cyber war as mere hype or as driven by potential profits dismiss much too quickly growing evidence of the importance of cyber operations—to which the Navy may be uniquely qualified to adapt.


The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force In The Age Of Multilateral Cooperation: Nontraditional Security, Takuya Shimodaira, Mar 2018

The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force In The Age Of Multilateral Cooperation: Nontraditional Security, Takuya Shimodaira,

Naval War College Review

The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force should take the initiative in promoting the concept of the Noncombat Military Operation (NCMO), especially humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, in the Asia-Pacific region. It should begin by forming a new mind-set—“Yes, it is possible.”


Strategic Features Of The South China Sea: A Tough Neighborhood For Hegemons, James R. Holmes Mar 2018

Strategic Features Of The South China Sea: A Tough Neighborhood For Hegemons, James R. Holmes

Naval War College Review

Alfred Thayer Mahan’s analysis of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea offers present-day students and practitioners of maritime strategy a framework to think through the challenges of the South China Sea.


Creating The 1980s Maritime Strategy And Implications For Today, John T. Hanley Jr. Mar 2018

Creating The 1980s Maritime Strategy And Implications For Today, John T. Hanley Jr.

Naval War College Review

The approaches that allowed the Chief of Naval Operations’ Strategic Studies Group to contribute so vitally to the U.S. Navy’s 1986 maritime strategy might be effective as well in confronting the challenges that the Navy faces today.

Silent Killers: Submarines And Underwater Warfare, William Murray Mar 2018

Silent Killers: Submarines And Underwater Warfare, William Murray

Naval War College Review

Given the book’s title and the cover photo of the Los Angeles–class fast attack submarine USS City of Corpus Christi, readers might reasonably assume that James P. Delgado’s Silent Killers: Submarines and Underwater Warfare is focused on modern submarines and undersea warfare. However, this is not the case. Instead, it is a small coffee-table book on the overall history of subma- rines, with pronounced emphases on early (pre–World War I) development and on the archaeology of submarine wrecks. A few minutes on the Internet readily explains this.


National Security Through A Cockeyed Lens: How Cognitive Bias Impactsu.S. Foreign Policy, Richard Norton Mar 2018

National Security Through A Cockeyed Lens: How Cognitive Bias Impactsu.S. Foreign Policy, Richard Norton

Naval War College Review

There’s an old saying, usually attributed to Mark Twain, that the Missouri River is “too thick to drink and too thin to plow.” At first glance, the same might be said for this book, in that Steve Yetiv seeks to appeal to the scholar, to the practitioner, and to the lay reader, serv- ing the lay reader best but not without utility to the practitioner and scholar.

Future Mine Countermeasures, Martin Schwarz Mar 2018

Future Mine Countermeasures, Martin Schwarz

Naval War College Review

Admiral Smith’s point might be as valid today as it was sixty-four years ago. It refers to mines that he faced off the coast of Korea. Naval (or sea) mines are, by themselves or in combination with other weapons, a promising choice to parties pursuing antiaccess/area-denial objectives. The number of mines in the stocks of countries around the world and the ease of laying them mean that sea control is very likely to be lost again in future tension and conflict. This article is an attempt to describe the means, and to some extent the methods, under con- sideration to …


A Prophet For Our Times, Wayne P. Hughes Jr Mar 2018

A Prophet For Our Times, Wayne P. Hughes Jr

Naval War College Review

It is appropriate for the Naval War College Review to reprint the superb essay by Admiral Ya’ari, because the things he foresaw nearly twenty years ago are all coming to pass—an analytical performance worthy of any Old Testament prophet. The growing hazards and deadliness of the littoral seas are something all navies must take into account, but particularly the U.S. Navy, because it is only just beginning to grasp the uniqueness of the littoral environment, the need for new tactics, and the value of warships better suited to fight in its clutter.


Reinventing The Drone, Reinventing The Navy1919–1939, Angelina Long Callahan Mar 2018

Reinventing The Drone, Reinventing The Navy1919–1939, Angelina Long Callahan

Naval War College Review

Invention is often perceived as an isolated event, attributable to a momentous “first” or to a single, patent-holding inventor. However, rather than questioning what qualified as the first drone aircraft or to whom the title as its “inventor” belongs, this article maps out the winding uncertainties of technical evolution— exploring how seemingly failed projects laid groundwork for the U.S. Navy’s first successful radio-controlled drone aircraft.


The Littoral Arena, Yedidia Ya’Ari Mar 2018

The Littoral Arena, Yedidia Ya’Ari

Naval War College Review

The shift of naval focus toward the littoral arena that has resulted from the dramatic changes in the geostrategic environment reflects a major rethink- ing of the role and objectives of sea power in the foreseeable future. Clearly these fundamental changes will result in an adjustment of the relative weight of “green water” and “brown water” missions on one hand and the high seas, which have been dominant in naval strategic thinking throughout this century, on the other. This article raises the question, however, of whether the process of transforma- tion is taking fully into account the scope of the …


A Theory Of Naval Airpower, Robert C. Rubel Mar 2018

A Theory Of Naval Airpower, Robert C. Rubel

Naval War College Review

The U.S. Navy has never been comfortable with theory or doctrine at what is now known as the operational level of war. The Navy has always pos- sessed robust ship- and formation-level doctrine—tactics—and of course has embraced the high-level sea-power theories of both Alfred Thayer Mahan and Julian Corbett. The gap in the middle either has not been needed—as has been essentially the case for most of the Navy’s history except for World War II—or has been filled by adaptive practice in the form of specific campaign or opera- tions plans. For the Navy, the old framework of strategy and …


The History Of The Twenty-First-Century Chinese Navy, Bernard D. Cole Mar 2018

The History Of The Twenty-First-Century Chinese Navy, Bernard D. Cole

Naval War College Review

China historically has been a continental rather than a maritime power, de- spite its more than eleven thousand miles of coastline and more than six thousand islands. It has more often viewed the sea as a potential invasion route for foreign aggressors rather than as a medium for achieving national goals, a tendency that has contributed to the weakness of the Chinese maritime tradi- tion. This attitude had changed by the beginning of the twenty-first century.


Averting The Great War?, John H. Maurer Mar 2018

Averting The Great War?, John H. Maurer

Naval War College Review

Winston Churchill is best remembered as a valiant leader in times of war. He should also be remembered, however, for his efforts to prevent the catastrophic great wars that would scar the history of the twentieth century. While it is largely forgotten today, on the eve of the First World War Churchill made a remarkable attempt to halt the head-to-head competition in naval armaments that was setting Great Britain and Germany against one another as adversaries.


President’S Forum, Walter E. Carter Jr Mar 2018

President’S Forum, Walter E. Carter Jr

Naval War College Review

Since 1884, the Naval War College has existed as a place to study and understand the complexity of conflict. As it prepares to celebrate its 130th anniversary, the College continues to refine its educational and research programs to meet the demands of the Navy and the national security community. The Naval War College is helping to prepare and shape the Navy of Tomorrow; and we are significantly supporting the Navy of Today.


China’S Maritime Disputes In The East And South China Seas, Peter A. Dutton Mar 2018

China’S Maritime Disputes In The East And South China Seas, Peter A. Dutton

Naval War College Review

China pursues its security through interior strategies that involve the develop- ment of rings of security around central areas of national interest. The Chi- nese have long felt vulnerable from the sea, and their current maritime strategy seeks to reduce that vulnerability by extending a ring of maritime control around China’s periphery. China pursues this control through a combination of force- structure development and legal assertions.


From The Editors, The U.S . Naval War College Mar 2018

From The Editors, The U.S . Naval War College

Naval War College Review

In recent testimony to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Peter A. Dutton of the Naval War College offered a timely and incisive analysis of the aims and tactics of China in its ongoing maritime disputes in the East and South China Seas. We take the liberty (with his permission, of course) of reproducing that tes- timony here. Professor Dutton emphasizes the sophisticated—indeed, sophistical —strategy the Chinese have pursued in the international legal arena, so far with some apparent success. He believes that our allies in the region are anxious to see the United States take a greater leadership role on …

Qualitative Approach To Understanding Guardian Models Of Policing, Jacqueline B. Helfgott, Beck M. Strah, Joycelyn Pollock, Loren T. Atherley, John Vinson Mar 2018

Qualitative Approach To Understanding Guardian Models Of Policing, Jacqueline B. Helfgott, Beck M. Strah, Joycelyn Pollock, Loren T. Atherley, John Vinson

Qualitative Criminology (QC)

Since 2015, there has been a growing interest and controversy regarding the “warrior” versus “guardian” models of policing. This article discusses the concept of guardian policing and uses qualitative data from an evaluation of guardian-based training in a police academy to highlight guardian concepts as understood by the trainers. Results suggest that trainers generally exhibit a widespread level of support and commitment towards the guardian model and the priorities of guardian training, view the model as consistent with what has traditionally been considered “good policing,” and believe that critics do not understand the basic elements of the model itself, …
