Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract I'm currently reading a wonderful book about the Battle of Trafalgar. Alright call me anchor faced if you will but don's forget that, as I look out my office window at an expanse of scrubby desert, I need something, a part from the tub of Atlantic sea salt on my desk, to reminder me that I am a seaman and not a Bedouin academic.

Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract There have been many figures, real and literary, who have maintained that there is no such thing as a coincidence. When, therefore, the last edition of NR did not arrive and the same was true for my work colleague, it seemed likely that there was a common explanation.

Defend the first island chain / Holmes, James R   Journal Article
Holmes, James R Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract A strategic solution to the troubled waters of the Western Pacific is perimeter defense-but what kind? History offers options. Want to give China an ulcer, a nagging sore that compels Beijing to think twice about aggression? Then look at the map. Geography affords the U.S.-Japan alliance abundant opportunities to make trouble for the People's Liberation Army (PLA), denying China's military access to the vast maneuver space of the Western Pacific while hampering its movements up and down the Asian seaboard. Fortifying the offshore island chain while deploying naval assets in adjoining waters could yield major strategic gains on the cheap. Doing so is common sense. The only question is how.

Idea of a "fleet in being" in historical perspective / Hattendorf, John B   Journal Article
Hattendorf, John B Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract The phrase "fleet in being" is one of those troublesome terms that naval historians and strategists have tended to use in a range of different meanings. The term first appeared in reference to the naval battle off Beachy Head in 1690, during the Nine Years' War, as part of an excuse that Admiral Arthur Herbert, first Earl of Torrington, used to explain his reluctance to engage the French fleet in that battle. A later commentator pointed out that the thinking of several British naval officers ninety years later during the War for American Independence, when the Royal Navy was in a similar situation of inferior strength, contributed an expansion to the fleet-in-being concept. To examine this subject carefully, it is necessary to look at two separate areas: first, the development of the idea of the fleet in being in naval strategic thought, and, second, the ideas that arose in the Royal Navy during the War of the American Revolution.

Looking out over the promised land: the US naval institute proceeding, 1880-1889 / Swartz, Peter M   Journal Article
Swartz, Peter M Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract An important reason that the Navy relies on the analytic community is to help it anticipate change and provide recommendations on how to deal with it. One of the ways we do this is through analyzing past events and the Navy's responses to them, teasing out what worked and what didn't, and then seeing if there are lessons to be learned for the present and future. Often there are, yielding recommendations to Navy decision-makers and their staffs.
