DEDICATION
“SEAPOWER in the broad sense …
includes not only the military strength
afloat that rules the seas or any part
of it by force of arms, but also the
peaceful commerce and shipping from
which alone a military fleet naturally
and healthfully springs, and on which
it securely rests.”
ALFRED THAYER MAHAN
