Descriptionof Planning for War at Sea
Manufacturer

How did navies assess potential enemies? What did they learn or fail to learn when operations began? How does this analysis feed into today's planning for future conflicts? These questions guide the historians and naval strategists who contributed to Planning for War at Sea. A central theme is the regular failure of the best plans devised by navies. The chapters cover four centuries of naval warfare and illustrate the challenges that all navies faced when considering potential enemies. Even in the age of sailing ships, ships were among the most expensive and long-term national undertakings. Navies therefore planned early for future wars, usually without knowing their opponents or how they would fight at sea. Building a capable navy requires sustained investment in maritime infrastructure long before fighting begins. In the final chapters, naval strategists expand on this historical analysis and examine how effectively or ineffectively the three leading navies of the present dayRussia, China, and the United Stateshave prepared for future conflicts between major powers in the post-Cold War era.
