Hattendorf Ernest J. King Professor of Maritime History Naval War College and John W. Kennedy U.S. NAVAL WAR COLLEGE NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND 2013 Editor’s Note The editor has made every attempt to establish a clear and accurate record of the symposium proceedings, one that faithfully records the opinions and views of the participants. In establishing the printed text from speaking notes, transcripts, seminar notes, and tape recordings of speakers or of the official English-language simultaneous translators, the editor has silently corrected slips of grammar, spelling, and wording. He has inserted full names and ranks when omitted by the speaker, and occasionally a word or phrase in square brackets to clarify the text. The editor acknowledges with great appreciation the tremendously valuable sup- port and assistance of John W. Kennedy, in listening to the tapes and helping to prepare the final text for publication, and the assistance of the Naval War College’s Visual Communications Department with its Desktop Publishing unit, particularly Jerry Lenihan and Ken DeRouin, for composition and layout, and Shannon Cole and Albert F. Fassbender for copyediting and proofreading. Newport July 2012 J.B.H.

Christenson, U.S. Navy President, U.S. Naval War College Admiral Jonathan W. Greenert, U.S. Navy Chief of Naval Operations Video Remarks: The Honorable Leon E. Panetta Secretary of Defense Professor Thomas Culora: ood morning. Admiral Greenert, Admiral Christenson, distinguished leaders Gof navies and coast guards from around the world, we are honored by your presence here in Newport. I am Professor Tom Culora, chairman of the Warfare Analysis and Research Department here at the Naval War College. Now it is my great pleasure to introduce to you the President of the Naval War College, Rear Admiral John Christenson. Admiral Christenson became the fifty- third President of the Naval War College on March 30 of this year. As he likes to point out, he is the fourth of six sons of a U.S. Navy Skyraider pilot and a Navy nurse, so the Navy is in his DNA. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1981 and served in a variety of billets at sea over the years, including, when we first met—I won’t say the date—on the USS Cook. We had our first deployments together as young ensigns. I’m proud to call him shipmate. He has had command at sea at every level, including the frigate USS McClusky, Destroyer Squadron 21, and Carrier Strike Group 12. Ashore he has led the Navy as Commander of the Surface Warfare Officers School located down the street here in Newport. As a new flag officer, he served as Commander, Naval Mine and Anti- submarine Warfare Command in Corpus Christi, Texas. He has served at the U.S. Naval Academy, at Headquarters Marine Corps in the Strategic Initiative Group, and on the Joint Staff, in the J5 Directorate and as execu- tive assistant to the assistant chairman. He most recently served as President of the Board of Inspections and Survey before coming here to the Naval War College. No stranger to this institution, he was first in his class here at the College and graduated with highest distinction. He was also a Navy Federal Executive Fellow at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy up the road in Boston. As you can see, 2 Twentieth International Seapower Symposium Admiral Christenson brings a wealth of operational, academic, and leadership expe- rience to his current role as President of the U.S. Naval War College. We are fortunate to have him here at the College. I’m very pleased this morning to introduce to you the fifty-third President of the Naval War College, Rear Admiral John Christenson. Rear Admiral John Christenson, United States: Thank you, Tom. Good morning, leaders of the world’s seapower. Welcome to New- port, Rhode Island, and to the Naval War College. We hope that your time here provides you an opportunity to think and to build relationships. My wife Teresa and I really appreciated the opportunity to meet nearly all of you last evening. In 1969 Admiral Richard G. Colbert was President here at the Naval War College. Forty-two years ago he stood before an impressive group of leaders to welcome them to the very first International Seapower Symposium. Admiral Colbert said, “We are gathered in a truly historic meeting. Never before have so many brilliant and pen- etrating minds from so many countries gathered in search of a common end.” At that time there were eighty high-ranking navy representatives from thirty- seven different countries,
