The transition to modern war at sea began during the period of
the Sino-Japanese War (1894 1895) and the Spanish-American War
(1898) and was propelled forward rapidly by the advent of the
dreadnought and the nearly continuous state of war that culminated
in World War I. By 1922, most of the elements that would define sea
power in the 20th century were in place. Written by one of our
foremost military historians, this volume acknowledges the complex
nature of this transformation, focusing on imperialism, the growth
of fleets, changes in shipbuilding and armament technology, and
doctrines about the deployment and use of force at sea, among other
factors. There is careful attention to the many battles fought at
sea during this period and their impact on the future of sea power.
The narrative is supplemented by a wide range of reference
materials, including a detailed census of capital ships built
during this period and a remarkable chronology of actions at sea
during World War I."
