The Unraveling And Revitalization Of U.S. Navyantisubmarine Warfare, John R. Benedict Apr 2018

The Unraveling And Revitalization Of U.S. Navyantisubmarine Warfare, John R. Benedict

Naval War College Review

Antisubmarine warfare in the U.S. Navy has been allowed to deteriorate since the end of the Cold War. The growing threat demands that ASW be restored to health, and the Navy appears to be on the brink of a real commitment. However, the pace of revitalization will be significantly less than it needs to be if sustained support, effective organization, and ample resources are not forthcoming.


If The Nuclear Taboo Gets Broken, George H. Quester Apr 2018

If The Nuclear Taboo Gets Broken, George H. Quester

Naval War College Review

Another use of nuclear weapons, for the first time since Nagasaki, is far from inevitable, but giving advance thought to the ways it could happen and to the policies that would be appropriate in response may be essential to heading it off.


Space-Based Weapons—Long-Term Strategic Implications And Alternatives, David C. Hardesty Apr 2018

Space-Based Weapons—Long-Term Strategic Implications And Alternatives, David C. Hardesty

Naval War College Review

Basing weapons in space might in the short term increase U.S. military capabilities, but their broader, long-term effect would be negative—especially because of likely foreign responses, inherent vulnerabilities, and crisis destabilization. A decision not to deploy weapons in space, and a treaty discouraging other nations from deploying them, would be much more in the national interest.


The Russo-Japanese War—Primary Causes Of Japanese Success, Yoji Koda Apr 2018

The Russo-Japanese War—Primary Causes Of Japanese Success, Yoji Koda

Naval War College Review

In the first years of the twentieth century, Japanese leaders, with little experience in international issues, raised the nation’s stature, developed appropriate strategies, showed excellent qualities of leadership and coordination, and so won a crucial victory in the Russo-Japanese War. But if that was the high point of Imperial Japan, it was also the beginning of the end.

Suez, 1956—A Successful Naval Operation Compromised By Inept Political Leadership, Michael H. Coles Apr 2018

Suez, 1956—A Successful Naval Operation Compromised By Inept Political Leadership, Michael H. Coles

Naval War College Review

The British and French forces that saw action during the abortive Suez invasion of 1956 produced a “copybook” performance in military terms. But flawed political decisions are likely to lead to flawed operational strategy, and today the entire episode is remembered as an embarrassing failure.


Fort Fisher—Amphibious Victory In The American Civil War, Gary J. Ohls Apr 2018

Fort Fisher—Amphibious Victory In The American Civil War, Gary J. Ohls

Naval War College Review

The first attack on Fort Fisher, during the American Civil War, failed utterly; the second succeeded magnificently. The commanders of the latter learned from the experience of the former; the lessons of both attempts were valuable for the great amphibious operations of the mid-twentieth century, and they remain instructive today.


Maritime Geostrategy And The Development Of The Chinese Navy In The Early Twenty-First Century, Xu Qi, Andrew S. Erickson, Lyle J. Goldstein Apr 2018

Maritime Geostrategy And The Development Of The Chinese Navy In The Early Twenty-First Century, Xu Qi, Andrew S. Erickson, Lyle J. Goldstein

Naval War College Review

A Senior Captain in the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy, writing in 2004 in China’s most prestigious military journal, surveys the now favorable geostrategic environment for accelerated Chinese maritime development, thereby articulating a rationale for a PLA Navy that is prepared to “defend a larger scope.”


China’S Aircraft Carrier Dilemma, Andrew S. Erickson, Andrew R. Wilson Apr 2018

China’S Aircraft Carrier Dilemma, Andrew S. Erickson, Andrew R. Wilson

Naval War College Review

What even a modest aircraft carrier can do, in a variety of roles, has impressed itself upon the Chinese. They have avoided buying the wrong platform at the wrong time—conventional large-deck ships may no longer be their “gold standard”—but aircraft carriers of some kind may yet complement their submarine-centered navy.

Arthur K. Cebrowski: A Retrospective, James Blaker

Naval War College Review

Vice Admiral Arthur K. Cebrowski, forty-seventh President of the Naval War College and later founding director of the Defense Department’s Office of Force Transformation, was the prime intellectual architect of U.S. military transformation and network-centric warfare. When he passed away on 12 November 2005, he joined the pantheon of American military innovators.


The Epistemology Of War Gaming, Robert C. Rubel Apr 2018

The Epistemology Of War Gaming, Robert C. Rubel

Naval War College Review

War games can produce valid knowledge, useful for planning and decisions, but they can also produce “valid-looking garbage.” There are principles that can help users and analysts tell the difference and avoid the pitfalls, but if game results are to merit reliably the confidence they are now given, the craft of gaming must become a profession.


China’S Maturing Navy, Eric A. Mcvadon Apr 2018

China’S Maturing Navy, Eric A. Mcvadon

Naval War College Review

A new and much more capable Chinese navy, especially its submarine force, is being acquired and deployed. It is not yet mature, but its rapid and impressive modernization is making it a navy that is arguably the only one that the U.S. Navy must deter or be able to defeat—unless, under other circumstances, it becomes a high-seas partner.


India In The Indian Ocean, Donald L. Berlin Apr 2018

India In The Indian Ocean, Donald L. Berlin

Naval War College Review

India has strengthened its position on the Indian Ocean’s littoral and among the ocean’s island nations. India also has become a more palpable presence in key maritime zones; its links with the most important external actors also have been strengthened. These are significant achievements, and they derive from India’s growing economic clout, maritime strength, and a surer hand in diplomacy. As this process unfolds further, it will have a transforming effect on the Indian Ocean basin and, eventually, the world.
