| Summary/Abstract |
On 17 October 2007, the new maritime strategy, jointly drafted by the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, was formally introduced at the United States Naval War College in Rhode Island. The U.S. Department of Defense website published the full text simultaneously. This important strategic report is titled "21st Century Sea Power Cooperation Strategy" [A Cooperative Strategy for 21st
Century Seapower]. This is the fi rst time in history that the three joint forces have formulated a unifi ed maritime strategy. This strategy report represents the first major revision of U.S. maritime strategy in over twenty years. The 1986 U.S. maritime strategy was developed in the latter part of the Cold War, and was a strategy of "war at the core," for the purpose of establishing maritime hegemony
for the global fi ght against the Soviet navy. Obviously, with the breakup of the Soviet Union and the decline of the Soviet navy, the "1986 Edition" of the U.S. maritime strategy has become obsolete.
