Rubel The U.S. Navy finds itself on the cusp of a shift in the makeup and use of its forces as fundamental as that from sail to steam or from the battleship to the aircraft carrier. The shift has, in fact, already begun. Is the Navy truly ready and willing to take the next steps? The Heart of an Officer Joint, Interagency, and International Operations and Navy Career Development . 27 Admiral James Stavridis, U.S. Navy, and Captain Mark Hagerott, U.S. Navy The Navy’s current system for developing Unrestricted Line officers is stretched to the breaking point. External realities and circumstances unique to the Cold War produced the existing system. Changed conditions now necessitate reform and point to a comprehensive “three track” system for line officers. Gunboats for China’s New “Grand Canals”? Probing the Intersection of Beijing’s Naval and Oil Security Policies . 43 Andrew Erickson and Lyle Goldstein China’s seaborne energy imports have become as vital a lifeline as was a waterway known as the “Grand Canal” in the central part of the nation a millennium ago. But the strategic environment is very different today. Scholars of the Naval War College’s China Maritime Studies Institute examine how Chinese analysts perceive their oil-security challenges. Maritime History The Naval Battle of Paris. 77 Jerry W. Jones It was only a diplomatic “battle,” but disputes among the victors of World War I over the disposition of the German navy and freedom of the seas threatened to poison relations between Britain and the United States and nearly disrupted the Paris Peace Conference. The episode speaks to the importance of cooperation for peace and security.

Boorman Each generation must educate leaders for modern high command, creating an intellectual organization for the study of strategy and an environment conducive to original, valid, and valuable strategic insights. There are few better starting points than the pioneering contributions of the U.S. Naval War College in the age of Admiral Henry E. Eccles.
