A Doctrine Reader: The Navies of the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, and Spain: The Navies of the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, and Spain (Newport Paper)

U.S. Naval War College

5/5 ( ratings)

In March 1993, the United States Navy and Marine Corps established the Naval Doctrine Command as the primary authority for the development of naval concepts and integrated naval doctrine. Although this was the first time the sea services had established a formal command to prepare and publish multi-service naval doctrine, it was not the first time that either service, or navies in general, had formal written doctrine. In the minds of most serving officers, however, doctrine was something new for the fleet. The major message of A Doctrine Reader is that naval and navy doctrine is not new and there is value today in reviewing the lessons from of past doctrinal development experiences. Newport Paper Number Nine contains the results of research conducted on the navies of the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, and Spain. Each has a unique story to tell, and each story has value for us today. This paper concludes with an interpretive essay on the relationship of doctrine to technology, particularly in revolutions in military affairs . It questions the ground forces-oriented RMA paradigm and makes a strong case for the uniqueness of naval warfare. - Adapted from Introduction by Rear Admiral J.R. Stark, President, Naval War College
