This book adopts an innovative new approach to examine the role of
maritime power and the utility of navies. It uses a number of case
studies based upon key Royal Navy operations in the twentieth
century to draw out enduring principles about maritime power and to
examine the strengths and limitations of maritime forces as
instruments of national policy.
Individual chapters focus on campaigns and operations from both
World Wars and a series of post-1945 crises and conflicts from the
Palestine Patrol in the 1940s to Royal Navy operations in support
of British policy in the 1990s. Each case study demonstrates
critical features of maritime power including: operations during
the transition to war; fleet operations in narrow seas; logistics;
submarine operations; the impact of air power on maritime
operations; blockade; maritime power projection; amphibious
warfare; jurisdictional disputes and the law of the sea; and, peace
support operations.
The contributors to this book all have considerable experience
lecturing on these issues at the United Kingdom Joint Services
Command and Staff College, where maritime campaign analysis is used
to teach the principles of maritime power to officers of the Royal
Navy. The book combines an authoritative examination of critical
Royal Navy operations during the twentieth century with a
sophisticated analysis of the nature of maritime power. As such it
is of both historical interest and contemporary relevance and will
prove equally valuable to academic historians, military
professionals and the general reader.
