From the foreword. "In Defeating the U-boat: Inventing
Antisubmarine Warfare, Newport Paper 36, Jan S. Breemer tells the
story of the British response to the German submarine threat. His
account of Germany's "asymmetric" challenge (to use the
contemporary term) to Britain's naval mastery holds important
lessons for the United States today, the U.S. Navy in particular.
The Royal Navy's obstinate refusal to consider seriously the option
of convoying merchant vessels, which turned out to be the key to
the solution of the Uboat problem, demonstrates the extent to which
professional military cultures can thwart technical and operational
innovation even in circumstances of existential threat. Although
historical controversy continues to cloud this issue, Breemer
concludes thatthe convoying option was embraced by the Royal Navy
only under the pressure of civilian authority. Breemer ends his
lively and informative study with some general reflections on
military innovation and the requirements for fostering it."
