Book Synopsis Testing American Sea Power by : Craig C. Felker
Download or read book Testing American Sea Power written by Craig C. Felker and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pacific Theater in World War II depended on American sea power. This power was refined between 1923 and 1940, when the U.S. Navy held twenty-one major fleet exercises designed to develop strategy and allow officers to enact plans in an operational setting. Prior to 1923, naval officers relied heavily on the theories of Capt. Alfred Thayer Mahan, who argued that sea control was vital to military victory, best attained through use of the battleship. Fleet exercises, however, allowed valuable practice with other military resources and theories. As a direct result of these exercises, the navy incorporated different technologies and updated its own outdated strategies. Although World War II brought unforeseen challenges and the disadvantages of simulation exercises quickly became apparent, fleet "problems" may have opened the door to different ideas that allowed the U.S Navy ultimately to succeed. Testing American Sea Power challenges the conventional wisdom that Mahanian theory held the American Navy in a steel grip. Felker's research and analysis, the first to concentrate on the navy's interwar exercises, will make a valuable contribution to naval history for historians, military professionals, and naval instructors.
Book Synopsis American Sea Power and the Obsolescence of Capital Ship Theory by : R.B. Watts
Download or read book American Sea Power and the Obsolescence of Capital Ship Theory written by R.B. Watts and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-11-13 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the 20th century, the United States has sought to achieve Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan's vision of "command of the sea" using large battle fleets of capital ships. This strategy has been generally successful: no force can oppose the U.S. Navy on the open seas. Yet capital ship theory has become increasingly irrelevant. Globally, irregular warfare dominates the spectrum of conflict, especially in the aftermath of 9/11. Fleet engagements are a thing of the past and even small scale missions that rely on capital ships are challenged by irregular warfare. In a pattern evident since World War II, the U.S. Navy has attempted to adapt its capital ship theory to irregular conflicts--with mixed results--before returning to traditional operations with little or no strategic debate. This book discusses the challenges of irregular warfare in the 21st century, and the need for U.S. naval power to develop a new strategic paradigm.
Book Synopsis China, the United States, and 21st-Century Sea Power by : Andrew S. Erickson
Download or read book China, the United States, and 21st-Century Sea Power written by Andrew S. Erickson and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s reaction to the United States’ new maritime strategy will significantly impact its success, according to three Naval War College professors. Based on the premise that preventing wars is as important as winning wars, this new U.S. strategy, they explain, embodies a historic reassessment of the international system and how the United States can best pursue its interests in cooperation with other nations. The authors contend that despite recent turbulence in U.S.-China military relations, substantial shared interests could enable extensive U.S.-China maritime security cooperation, as they attempt to reach an understanding of “competitive coexistence.” But for professionals to structure cooperation, they warn, Washington and Beijing must create sufficient political and institutional space.

Book excerpt: From 1923 to 1940 the U.S. Navy held twenty-one major exercises, known as "Fleet Problems." While only part of annual fleet training, these exercises differed from routine maneuvers and gunnery exercises. All available fleet units were integrated into a single major action. At the conclusion of the exercises, representatives from participating units and staffs would gather for a post-exercise critique, which provided an opportunity for all to see events in their entirety, as well as offering a forum for senior commanders to discuss their perspectives and lessons learned. While historians have not ignored the interwar period, in general their interpretations have cast the interwar navy as little more than a proving ground for a doctrine first articulated by Alfred Thayer Mahan in the late nineteenth century. The literature characterizes the navy as tradition-bound and overly conservative, reluctant to break from Mahan's emphasis on decisive battles fought between lines of battleships. An examination of the documents relating specifically to the fleet problems, as well as reports from fleet commanders-in-chief, the Navy General Board, and articles in professional journals, offer an excellent model that addresses the historical problem of determining what was actually going on in the exercises. The conclusion reached is that the fleet problems, which took the form of sophisticated warfare simulation, provided an empirical means of testing Mahan's historicist-based warfare doctrine against new technology. Naval officers displayed a willingness to adapt or abandon important tenets of Mahanian doctrine in the face of tacit knowledge gained from the exercises. Concepts such as dive-bombing, independent submarine operations, antisubmarine warfare, and amphibious operations were explored in a medium that stressed the thinking of naval officers as how best to fight a naval war with modern weapons. An examination of the fleet problem serves to intervene in the established literature by revealing a different perspective on the interwar navy. While the vision they crafted was imperfect, naval officers demonstrated that they were not all catechismal throwbacks. Through simulation they developed a good, though incomplete, understanding of the new tools of naval warfare and a reasonable strategic scheme for applying them.

Book Synopsis The Future of Sea Power by : Eric Grove
Download or read book The Future of Sea Power written by Eric Grove and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-30 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1990, presents a fundamental reassessment of maritime strategy. It analyses the lessons of twentieth-century naval warfare and examines in detail the changing face of naval warfare, both in terms of the weapons used and the platforms from which they are launched and controlled. It looks at the evolving uses of the seas, both economic and military, and sets sea power against the developing world environment, political, legal and economic, discussing those factors that stimulate nations to exert power at sea and those that limit their naval capabilities. It also develops a theoretical framework for future thinking about maritime strategy and forces, revises and updates Mahan’s classical analysis of the foundations of sea power, and discusses thinking about naval tasks.

Book Synopsis Why Nations Put to Sea by : Kevin L. Falk
Download or read book Why Nations Put to Sea written by Kevin L. Falk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 2000, this book describes the relation between technology and the exercise of sea power. It emphasizes the importance of mastering and maintaining technology for the means of exercising maritime power whether the USA is at peace or in a time of conflict. The changing character of maritime power is evaluated through an examination of current trends, historical precedent and deductive logic. Many factors influence sea power, but it is the exponential growth in the use of science and technology which the author believes is the key to understanding the future of sea power.
