In his excellent book explaining naval strategy, Julian S. Corbett
examines sound maritime strategy. Crucially, he advances the view
that navies could perform much better if their role in assisting
land warfare and amphibious forces were increased. Writing in the
early 20th century, Corbett draws upon centuries of naval battles
and identifies several common strains. The development of war
strategies at sea often entailed trial and error - the author
elects to explain how strategy evolved as much from calamity as
practice. How naval force should be assembled, how it should form
up, and how concentrations and dispersal of ships should be
organized each receive discussion. Although naval warfare has
substantially changed since this book's original publication, it
continues to be consulted for its timeless and sound advice.
Corbett's era predated the extensive use of submarines and
aeroplanes in naval combat, but his conclusions remain sound and
sought after even in the tutoring of modern maritime strategy.
