In his excellent book explaining naval strategy Julian S Corbett examines sound maritime strategy Crucially he advances the view that navies could perform much better if their role in assisting land warfare and amphibious forces were increased Writing in the early 20th century Corbett draws upon centuries of naval battles and identifies several common strains The development of war strategies at sea often entailed trial and error the author elects to explain how strategy evolved as much from calamity as practice How naval force should be assembled how it should form up and how concentrations and dispersal of ships should be organized each receive discussion Although naval warfare has substantially changed since this books original publication it continues to be consulted for its timeless and sound advice Corbetts era predated the extensive use of submarines and aeroplanes in naval combat but his conclusions remain sound and sought after even in the tutoring of modern maritime strategy

Commanders at sea struggle not only with the unpredictability of natural elements but also with a shroud of uncertainty often referred to as the fog of war Over the centuries most admirals yielded to the natural temptation to find in new technologies a means to assert centralized control over their forces But other commanders have recognized the fog for what it is a constant level of uncertainty resistant to mere technological solution In this grand history of naval warfare Michael Palmer observes five centuries of dramatic encounters under sail and steam From reliance on signal flags in the seventeenth century to satellite communications in the twentyfirst admirals looked to the next advance in technology as the one that would allow them to control their forces But while abilities to communicate improved Palmer shows how other technologies simultaneously shrank admirals windows of decision The result was simple if not obvious naval commanders have never had sufficient means or time to direct subordinates in battle Successful commanders as distant as Horatio Nelson 17581805 and Arleigh Burke 19011996 accepted this reality They sought solutions to the dilemmas of command in the personal indoctrination of subordinates through discussion comradeship and displays of trust and confidence Such leaders created a commonality of vision and fostered a high degree of individual initiative Their decentralized approach to command resulted in a resiliency that so often provided the key to success in battle Palmers exciting and enlightening history reveals the myriad efforts of naval commanders to navigate the fog of war
