Maritime Commerce Warfare: The Coercive Response Of The Weak?, Douglas C. Peifer

As has been the case since 1945, the ultimate nightmare is general war among the great powers resulting in widespread use of nuclear weapons. A breakdown in minimum public order may make that bad dream become reality.

Amphibious Operations And The Evolution Of Australian Defense Policy, Peter J. Dean

“The tyranny of dissonance” among Australia’s geography, history, values, and political interests has begun to recede, and amphibious capability, long marginal in the nation’s defense strategy, will be playing a critical role.

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.

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

Naval War College Review

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.”
