Maritime Strategy and Sea Control-Theory and Practice
Year: 2016 Language: English Author: Milan Vego Genre: Handbook Publisher: Routledge Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 340 Description: This work is a sequel to the book Operational Warfare at Sea: Theory and Practice, published by Routledge in 2009. It explains and analyzes in a much greater detail sea control in all its complexities. It also describes the main methods of obtaining and maintaining sea control. The subject of sea control is often discussed, but the true meaning of the term “sea control” or “control of the sea” is all too often either misunderstood or not understood at all. For example, many naval officers firmly believe that just by having a naval presence in a certain sea/ocean area one also possesses sea control. Many also confuse power projection and sea control or sea denial as one side of the same coin. The need for a work that explains and analyzes in some detail all aspects of sea control seems obvious. In a war between two strong opponents, the principal objective of each side would be to obtain and maintain sea control or control of the sea. Among other things, a side that fails to achieve that objective would have great difficulties in defending and protecting its military-economic potential at sea and in supporting friendly troops on land. In such a case, the weaker side has to shift to a strategic defensive and conduct sea denial. Perhaps it is needless to say that no country possesses sea control in peacetime. Struggle for sea control starts with the first encounter of the opposing forces in combat. It consists of the related and mutually dependent phases of obtaining and maintaining sea control.

control is often discussed, but the true meaning of the term “sea control” or
