Hattendorf: The Idea of a “Fleet in Being” in Historical Perspective THE IDEA OF a “FLEET IN BEING” IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE John B. Hattendorf he phrase “fleet in being” is one of those troublesome terms that naval his- torians and strategists have tended to use in a range of different meanings. TThe term first appeared in reference to the naval battle off Beachy Head in 1690, during the Nine Years’ War, as part of an excuse that Admiral Arthur Herbert, first Earl of Torrington, used to explain his reluctance to engage the French fleet in that battle. A later commentator pointed out that the thinking of several Brit- ish naval officers ninety years later during the War for American Independence, when the Royal Navy was in a similar situation of inferior strength, contributed an expansion to the fleet-in-being concept.

  • Abstract JULIAN CORBETT and the DEVELOPMENT of a MARITIME
    Abstract JULIAN CORBETT AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MARITIME STRATEGY by SAMUEL E. ROGERS NOVEMBER, 2018 Director: DR. WADE G. DUDLEY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY Sir Julian Corbett (1854-1922) is one of the two most influential theorists of sea power. He defined maritime operations, limited war, and our understanding of the “British Way of War,” while also foreshadowing the Great War at Sea. Corbett’s lasting theoretical contributions to strategic thought are captured in Some Principles of Maritime Strategy (1911). It remains a centerpiece of military and international relations theory and continues to be studied in professional military education alongside Thucydides, Sun Tzu, Antoine-Henri Jomini, Carl von Clausewitz, and Alfred Thayer Mahan. Corbett’s influential theories were shaped by multiple influences, including Mahan, Corbett’s own study of British sea power, his reading and understanding of Clausewitz’s On War, and Admiral John Fisher’s naval revolution at the turn of the twentieth century. While Mahan linked sea power with national power, Corbett illuminated this relationship and displayed a keen understanding, developed through his own historical study, of the limits of sea power, and war more broadly, as an instrument of national policy. His influential theory on the role of sea power in the geopolitical context of the European balance of power at the turn of the twentieth century is a clear reflection of Britain’s rapidly changing strategic environment and the equally rapid changes in military technology. Heavily influenced by Admiral Fisher, Corbett, building on the work of Mahan and military theorist Carl von Clausewitz, defined maritime strategy, limited war, command of the sea, and, at the height of the British Empire, laid the ground work for understanding a “British way of war.” Corbett was first and foremost a historian and a professional military educator.

  • What Is a Maritime Strategy?
    Sea Power Centre - Australia October 2013 SOUNDINGS No. 1 What is a Maritime Strategy? John B Hattendorf SOUNDINGS Executive Summary This discussion articulates the complexity of developing a maritime strategy. Navies are an important aspect of the strategic maritime environment but they remain only one element of a nation’s strategy in the maritime domain. The article begins by briefly tracing the history of maritime strategy, which sheds light on its evolving characteristics. Following is a discourse on contemporary naval strategy. Emanating from the ‘Anglo-American’ and ‘Young’ schools of thought the debate encompassed the ideas of military strategists such as Clausewitz and Jomini. This not only laid the foundation for modern maritime strategy but also led to the identification of sea control as a priority military task within a nation’s maritime strategy. Control must be established before it can be exploited, and a nation’s military capacity will dictate the navy’s ability to exert force not just during wartime, but also its ability to deploy influence in peacetime. About the Author John B Hattendorf has been the Ernest J King Professor of Maritime History at the US Naval War College since 1984. He is the author or editor of more than forty volumes, including Naval History and Maritime Strategy (2000), The Oxford Encyclopedia of Maritime History (2007), The Evolution of the U.S. Navy’s Maritime Strategy, 1977-1987 (2004), the three-volume series on U.S. Naval Strategy: Selected Documents (2006-2008), and Talking about Naval History (2011). What is a Maritime Strategy? John B Hattendorf What is a maritime strategy?[1] The question is a simple and direct one, but the answer is complex.

This is a difficult task, because they face issues that seem so much more complicated than we remember them to have been during the Cold War. Partly because of the ending of that conflict, for the moment at least, but mainly because of the impact of globalization, the concept of security has expanded from notions that are mainly military to encompass the dimensions of political security, economic security, societal security, and environmental secu- rity. All of these may apply at the level of the individual citizen, groups in the na- tional population, the nation, the region, or the world.

  • Introduction Quintin Colville and James Davey the Last Few Decades Have Witnessed a Transformation in the Way That Naval History
    Introduction Quintin Colville and James Davey The last few decades have witnessed a transformation in the way that naval history is researched and conceived. A generation ago, this was largely – though by no means entirely – a self-contained world. Its priorities and themes were understood and accepted, revolving broadly around issues of warfare, command and leadership, strategy and tactics, technology and weaponry. While these crucial subjects remain, historians working within the discipline, and others from outside it who have identified the navy as fertile ground for analysis, have between them opened up new perspectives on the subject. The range and variety of research concerning the navy is now remarkable, and continues to develop apace. Recent scholarship has examined issues of national identity and imperialism through naval affairs; the celebrity and legacy of Admiral Nelson; the social and cultural realities of life on board ship; the place of the navy within wider constructions of gender and class; and the myriad ways in which the relationship between the navy and British society has been mediated through art, music and popular culture. As a result, some of the assumptions of naval history have altered, and a variety of approaches now have a stake in defining it. Above all, there has been a distinct shift from a concern with the Royal Navy as a separate and separable institution, to an examination of the complex relationships between ship and shore, Britain and its empire, navy and nation. Naturally, any discussion about the current state of naval history begs many questions about its earlier incarnations. As a discipline, it has not always had a strong sense of its past, for while there have been countless naval histories, there have been few works on the academic origins of the subject that have sought to explain how it has been conceived and understood.

  • Purpose and Contribution in Editing Naval Documents: a General Appreciation
    Purpose and Contribution in Editing Naval Documents: A General Appreciation From Naval History and Maritime Strategy: Collected Essays John B. Hattendorf Ernest J. King Professor of Maritime Strategy Naval War College Krieger Publishing Company Malabar, Florida 2000 Electronically published by American Naval Records Society Bolton Landing, New York 2012 REPRODUCED ON THIS WEBSITE BY PERMISSION OF KRIEGER PUBLISHING COMPANY. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 6 Purpose and Contribution in Editing Naval Documents: A General Appreciation There is no question that the standards and reputation of naval history, as a field of academic enquiry, need improvement. One im· portant way to do this is to improve the available source material and to point the way toward critical appreciation of naval docu· ments. Well·edited volumes of naval papers can do this. They can smooth the way for general readers and for beginning students; they can improve the available source materials for popular writers: and they can provide a selection of key source materials which constitute the basis of new interpretations. Documentary publications are par· ticularly important for naval history, a field which depends equally upon personal insights from private papers as well as on the release and interpretative analysis of official, government documents. The editing and publication of historical documents has been a widespread feature in many countries and in many languages, but the publication of naval documents has become largely an Anglo. American tradition. Historians working in French, Dutch, and Span· ish language materials have made important contributions, but their effort has not been sustained over so long a period or so large a body of published documents.

Some, in the traditions of the nineteenth- century Manchester School, welcome it as ushering in an era of peace and plenty by replacing competitive, aggressive balance-of-power politics with a much greater sense of international community. Others see globalization as under- mining their ways of life, their independence, their beliefs, and their future pros- pects. Still others dispute assumptions of globalization’s assumed longevity and worry, on the contrary, about its prospective, if not imminent, collapse.
