This volume examines the transformation of British and US naval
policy from 1870 to 1889, which resulted in the British Naval
Defence Act (1889), the construction of the first modern US
battleships, and began the naval arms race which culminated in
World War One. In examining the development of strategic thinking
in the Royal and US Navies, it overturns conventional wisdom
regarding genesis of the Naval Defence Act and the US Navy's
about-face from a defensive to an offensive strategic orientation.
It pays particular attention to activities of the key individuals
in both countries' navies, who were instrumental in transforming
their respective services' organizational culture. This study will
be of interest not only to historians but to political scientists,
sociologists, and others working in the fields of international
relations, strategic studies, policy analysis, and military
learning, adaptation and innovation. It is also essential reading
for those interested in the naval arms race during this period.
