Description: Mahan Goes to War by U.S. Army Command and General Staff Coll, U.S. Army Command, General Staff Coll Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A.T. Mahan formulated a theory of sea power that proclaimed the capital ship-centered battle fleet essential to any great maritime nations long-term prosperity. He also presented a beguilingly simple operational concept based on the teachings of Jomini. His ideas quickly became dogma in the worlds navies, including the U.S. Navy. In the decades before World War I, the U.S. Navy reflected Mahans emphasis on the battleship and fighting as a concentrated fleet. The naval conflict between Germany and Great Britain in World War I did not resemble Mahans vision for what war at sea between two great powers should look like. Rather than consisting of decisive battles between fleets of capital ships, the War involved distant blockade, raids, mining, and especially commerce raiding by German submarines. Despite the advantage of almost three years of observing the European conflict, the U.S. Navy did little to prepare for this new kind of war. It entered the War in April, 1917 with a "top-heavy" force of battleships, and operational plans completely unsuited to the antisubmarine conflict it would undertake. This book attempts to determine the effects of World War I, a decidedly non-Mahanian war, on the U.S. Navys force structure and operational planning.
