These essays from the journal "International Security" cover
aspects of past and present naval technologies and explore current
disputes over American naval doctrine. Four of the
contributions--those by Linton Brooks, John Mearsheimer, Barry
Posen, and Joshua Epstein--describe the case for and against the
Reagan administration's controversial Maritime Strategy, which has
formed the basis for the administration's buildup to a
six-hundred-ship navy. Other articles describe Soviet naval
doctrine, assess the risk of nuclear war at sea, and outline the
evolution of major naval technologies and doctrines.
