The model, just over twenty-six inches long and almost nineteen tall, was do- nated to the Naval War College in 1993 by Rear Admiral Ha Jong-keun, president of the Korean Naval War College. The original ship was 113 feet long, thirty- four feet in beam; it displaced 150 tons, mounted fourteen guns, and carried a complement of 130. The spikes on the “turtleback” deterred boarding; the iron plates, which were bolted to wood sheath- ing up to a foot thick, made the turtle ship the world’s fi rst ironclad.

Challenges and issues still exist, but there are important areas in which it and the capable Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force can cooperate in the future. Arctic Security Considerations and the U.S. Navy’s Roadmap for the Arctic. 35 Rear Admiral David W. Titley, U.S. Navy, and Courtney C. St. John The scope and magnitude of changes to the Arctic region as a result of a changing climate are great—shifts in species populations and distribution, more navigable transportation passages, increased shipping activity and resource extraction, and modified global circulation patterns. The Navy’s Task Force Climate Change is addressing these considerations, which will shape safety and security in the Arctic. The U.S. Navy’s Transition to Jets. 49 Robert C. Rubel In this centennial year of naval aviation, it is interesting to observe that it has been jet powered for over half of its history. The transition was long and brutally expensive in terms of life and aircraft. However, it was, by any measure, a success. Pieces of Eight An Appraisal of U.S. Counterpiracy Options in the Horn of Africa . 61 Lesley Anne Warner The key to success against piracy off the coast of Somalia lies in linking current sea-based counterpiracy methods with approaches designed to remedy the underlying instability ashore that produced piracy in the first place. China’s Oil Security Pipe Dream The Reality, and Strategic Consequences, of Seaborne Imports . 89 Andrew S. Erickson and Gabriel B. Collins It is widely believed in China that overland pipelines would greatly enhance the security of its oil supply. Market and geopolitical analysis, however, shows that they would not. Chinese decision makers must face the fact that, barring discovery of an economically viable large-scale substitute for crude oil, their nation’s dependence on seaborne oil imports will only increase.
