| Summary/Abstract |
When new technologies arise, there has been a tendency to focus on the
threat that they pose to naval power in general and surface warships in
particular. This trend can be seen with the response to torpedo boats in the
late nineteenth century, air power between the two world wars, nuclear
weapons and anti-ship missiles. A combination of the direct threat from
enemy capabilities and the competition from new elements of the armed
services has repeatedly resulted in claims that warships or even naval power
itself had become obsolete. This article explores the debates surrounding
these technological innovations. It argues that their impact was so misunderstood
because of a lack of appreciation of the ability of navies to adapt
and incorporate new technologies and the continuing importance of the use
of the sea.

| Summary/Abstract |
The ‘operational level’ of war tends to be considered primarily from the land perspective, with relatively little thought given to its relevance to the maritime environment. In this article, Tim Benbow assesses the concept of the operational level, suggesting that although sometimes misused, it does have utility. He argues that the operational level and operational art both apply to the maritime environment. He then explores the ways in which the operational level differs in this environment, highlighting in particular the role of time and distance, and the relationship between attack and defence.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article outlines and evaluates the concept of "fourth-generation warfare" (4GW). It provides an overview of the arguments made by proponents of the concept, and assesses a series of criticisms that have been directed against it, particularly that it tends to exaggerate the decline of the state and that it does not describe anything truly new. The article argues that although there are some serious shortcomings in 4GW theory, it does provide many important observations about the changing nature of contemporary conflict. Despite being a flawed model, it is useful as a corrective to the tendency to focus on state-against-state warfare
