In establishing the printed text from speaking notes, transcripts, sem- inar notes, and tape recordings of speakers or of the official English-language simultaneous translators, the editor has silently corrected slips of grammar, spell- ing, 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 valuable support and assis- tance of John W. Kennedy in listening to the tapes and helping to prepare the text for publication, and the Naval War College Graphics Department with its Desktop Publishing Unit, particularly Thomas O’Rourke and Lori Cameron, for composi- tion and layout, and Albert F. Fassbender and Shannon Cole for copyediting and proofreading. Newport July 2009 J.B.H.

Shuford, U.S. Navy President, Naval War College ood morning. Welcome to the Naval War College and to the Eighteenth Inter- Gnational Seapower Symposium. Last night, we got a chance to meet most of you and we will have the opportunities during the course of the week to get to know everybody a little bit better. It was terrific seeing a lot of old friends and to begin to make some new friends. It was a terrific kick-off and thank you all for making what for some of you was a very long and arduous trip to join us here to be together in Newport. I can tell you last night, though, as I spoke to almost everyone, I did not detect any weariness in anyone’s eyes or their sense. It was clear then that everyone appreciated what a propitious evening that was to kick off this historical event. Ev- eryone, despite their weariness, clearly buoyed by the sense of promise that coming together like this has created. I am sure you can sense that as well this morning. For centuries, Newport—this historic seaport town—where, even before the United States was a nation, John Paul Jones on the sloop Providence used to ply these very same historical waters of Narragansett Bay. For centuries, Newport, as well as your great seaport cities, has welcomed mariners from around the world. But I can tell you, and I confirmed this with Dr. John Hattendorf, who is one of the premier naval historians, that no group of maritime leaders has ever come together in the number and with the distinction that this group represents
