Peak Oil, Progressivism, And Josephus Daniels, 1913–21, Roger Stern Dec 2020

Peak Oil, Progressivism, And Josephus Daniels, 1913–21, Roger Stern

Naval War College Review

Daniels’s time as Secretary of the Navy was activated by Progressivism and peak oil. To preserve the Naval Oil Reserve, Daniels ultimately resorted to seizing oil, always at a below-market price and sometimes without compensation at all. His campaign to save the Navy from both peak oil and the ostensible predations of “big oil” ended in fiasco—fuel-oil seizures led by armed Marines.


A “New Look” At Cold War Maritime Defense—The Royal Canadian Navy’S Seaward Defence Report And The Threat Of The Missile-Firing Submarine, 1955, Michael Whitby Dec 2020

A “New Look” At Cold War Maritime Defense—The Royal Canadian Navy’S Seaward Defence Report And The Threat Of The Missile-Firing Submarine, 1955, Michael Whitby

Naval War College Review

The Soviets’ development in the mid-1950s of the capability to launch nuclear-armed missiles from conventional submarines constituted a significant challenge to Allied antisubmarine forces during the Cold War, impacting the U.S. Navy and Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) most. The RCN’s 1955 Seaward Defence Report reveals how a midsize navy with comparatively limited resources charged with defending a long coastline and valuable strategic targets proposed to cope with dramatically changing circumstances.


“Neither Fish Nor Fowl Nor Yet Good Red Herring”—Joint Institutions, Single-Service Priorities, And Amphibious Capabilities In Postwar Britain, Ian Speller Dec 2020

“Neither Fish Nor Fowl Nor Yet Good Red Herring”—Joint Institutions, Single-Service Priorities, And Amphibious Capabilities In Postwar Britain, Ian Speller

Naval War College Review

A joint approach to institutional responsibility for amphibious warfare served British needs during the Second World War but contributed to poor results after 1945. British capabilities did not recover until amphibious warfare became the particular responsibility of the naval service.


“Things Done By Halves”—Observations From America’S First Great-Power Competition, Benjamin F. Armstrong Dec 2020

“Things Done By Halves”—Observations From America’S First Great-Power Competition, Benjamin F. Armstrong

Naval War College Review

By looking to the maritime past and scuttling the idea that somehow the “gray zones” of today have initiated something unique to our contemporary world, naval forces will be better prepared to address the challenges presented by maritime security, naval irregular warfare, and great-power friction on the world’s oceans. An examination of the Quasi War with France illuminates key questions for strategists and planners considering the interactions among great powers.


Ameliorating The Alliance Dilemma In An Age Of Gray-Zone Conflict—Lessons Learned From The U.S.-Japan Alliance, Michael M. Bosack Dec 2020

Ameliorating The Alliance Dilemma In An Age Of Gray-Zone Conflict—Lessons Learned From The U.S.-Japan Alliance, Michael M. Bosack

Naval War College Review

Fear of abandonment and entrapment can affect alliance management in a modern strategic environment marked by gray-zone conflict. Applying notable takeaways from scholarship to the context of the modern security environment identifies the type of incidents that affect formal alliances. The U.S.-Japan alliance provides a case study of how abandonment and entrapment influence alliance interactions.

China’S Global Navy—Today’S Challenge For The United States And The U.S. Navy, James E. Fanell

Naval War College Review

The PRC continues to build a naval force that, if left unchallenged, will be increasingly capable of achieving sea control in the global maritime commons as early as 2030, and potentially achieving sea superiority by 2049.

Research & Debate—It’S A Gray, Gray World, Nadia Schadlow

Naval War College Review

In a thought-provoking essay for the Winter 2020 issue of the Naval War College Review, Don Stoker and Craig Whiteside argue against the utility of two terms: gray-zone conflict and hybrid war. I believe the opposite.


Conditional Surrender—Conflict Termination In The Pacific, 1945, Richard J. Shuster, Takuya Shimodaira Jul 2020

Conditional Surrender—Conflict Termination In The Pacific, 1945, Richard J. Shuster, Takuya Shimodaira

Naval War College Review

As early as mid-1943, the strategic political and military leadership on both sides began to see the inevitability of a U.S. victory over Japan. The combatants each sought an end on terms favorable to their respective national interests: the United States pushed relentlessly for unconditional surrender, while Japan sought to force a negotiated settlement. What were the factors and actions that led from military victory to a conditional surrender that set the conditions for a smooth transition to postwar stability in Japan?


The Law Of Military Operations And Self-Defense In The U.S.-Japan Alliance, James Kraska, Yusuke Saito Jul 2020

The Law Of Military Operations And Self-Defense In The U.S.-Japan Alliance, James Kraska, Yusuke Saito

Naval War College Review

While the United States and Japan share many values, their legal systems take distinct approaches to authorizing military operations. But the two approaches converge within the alliance structure—especially important with regard to implementing the international law of self-defense.


Twenty-First-Century Innovation Pathways For The U.S. Navy In The Age Of Competition, James A. Russell Jul 2020

Twenty-First-Century Innovation Pathways For The U.S. Navy In The Age Of Competition, James A. Russell

Naval War College Review

Recent programs such as the littoral combat ship, the Zumwalt-class guided-missile destroyer, and the Ford-class aircraft carrier all have highlighted the Navy’s failure to produce innovative, afford-able ships in the quantity and of the quality needed to configure a larger, redesigned fleet. Unless the Navy can address mistakes made in these programs it will have difficulty innovating success-fully—with potentially disastrous consequences.


The Return Of Great-Power Competition—Cold War Lessons About Strategic Antisubmarine Warfare And Defense Of Sea Lines Of Communication, Bradford Dismukes Jul 2020

The Return Of Great-Power Competition—Cold War Lessons About Strategic Antisubmarine Warfare And Defense Of Sea Lines Of Communication, Bradford Dismukes

Naval War College Review

American Cold War planning experienced important failures in strategic intelligence and in the way planners used that intelligence. These shortcomings were overcome through massive material investment, technological advantage, and good fortune, but in the twenty-first-century era of great-power competition the Navy cannot count on these advantages. More-careful and better-integrated intelligence-planning processes would improve our chances of success greatly.
