About this title

Synopsis

An examintion of the concepts of a fleet-in-being, command of the sea, and the role of sea power attacks against the land.

From the Back Cover

For all its faults, and they are many, Colomb's Naval Warfare is a significant contribution to the study of war at sea and the objectives, efficacy, and limitations of sea power. First, it is important because it drew to the national attention of the British at a time of urgency and confusion the value of maintaining a fleet capable of fulfilling the necessary mandate of such a sea service.
