Maritime Strategy and Sea Denial-Theory and Practice
Year: 2019 Language: English Author: Milan Vego Genre: Handbook Publisher: Routledge Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 349 Description: This work is a sequel to the book Maritime Strategy and Sea Control: Theory and Practice published in 2016. The need to have a book on the strategy and operations of a weaker side at sea seems obvious. A major reason is that there are no major works that coherently and comprehensively explain and analyze sea denial and related methods of disputing control of the sea. With the probable exception of Julian S. Corbett and Raoul Castex, classical naval thinkers focused almost exclusively on sea control. The reason was that they were first and foremost advocates of a big blue-water navy. Some of the major navies, such as, for example, the French Navy, developed theories of how to confront and prevail in a war against a much stronger navy, such as was the Royal Navy. However, these theories were mostly based on a false reading of history and were too narrow in their scope. The great majority of navies in the past were inferior in strength to major navies. Hence, they were strategically on the defensive and disputed control of the sea. The situation would be similar in the future, because out of some 115 navies today, most are small. However, disputing sea control is not limited to small or moderate size navies. In some cases, a major sea power might be forced to shift to strategic defense. Full knowledge and understanding of sea denial and methods of disputing control of the sea is needed for both major and small navies. A doctrine for the operational level of war by a major navy will be unsound if it exclusively focuses on sea control while sea denial is given short shrift or, even worse, ignored. And any naval doctrine should be based on historical experience and the proper vision of future war at sea.

Description: This work is a sequel to the book Maritime Strategy and Sea Control: Theory
and Practice published in 2016. The need to have a book on the strategy and
operations of a weaker side at sea seems obvious. A major reason is that there
are no major works that coherently and comprehensively explain and analyze
sea denial and related methods of disputing control of the sea. With the probable
exception of Julian S. Corbett and Raoul Castex, classical naval thinkers focused
almost exclusively on sea control. The reason was that they were first and foremost
advocates of a big blue-water
navy. Some of the major navies, such as, for
example, the French Navy, developed theories of how to confront and prevail in
a war against a much stronger navy, such as was the Royal Navy. However,
these theories were mostly based on a false reading of history and were too
narrow in their scope. The great majority of navies in the past were inferior in
strength to major navies. Hence, they were strategically on the defensive and
disputed control of the sea. The situation would be similar in the future, because
out of some 115 navies today, most are small. However, disputing sea control is
not limited to small or moderate size navies. In some cases, a major sea power
might be forced to shift to strategic defense. Full knowledge and understanding
of sea denial and methods of disputing control of the sea is needed for both
major and small navies. A doctrine for the operational level of war by a major
navy will be unsound if it exclusively focuses on sea control while sea denial is
given short shrift or, even worse, ignored. And any naval doctrine should be
based on historical experience and the proper vision of future war at sea.
