| Summary/Abstract |
The article discusses U.S. naval operations in peacetime conditions as of Spring 2013. It argues that naval planners, theorists, and practitioners should adjust their approaches to peacetime naval operations, and that naval theory is not appropriate for peacetime missions. The article discusses the impact of globalization on maritime commerce, the evolution of criminal and military threats to U.S. national security, and the changing nature of international maritime law. The author presents an alternative framework aimed at reconceptualizing naval operations from peacetime to a war footing.
