Implementation of Corbett's Naval Theory
Interdependence of Forces
- large component in Corbett's naval theory
- did not see sea power as decisive
- used in Siege of Vicksburg, Battle of Port royal, and Battle of Okinawa
Battle of the Atlantic
SLOCs are sort of important
- US started by concentrating the little forces we had in "Mahanian" hunter-killer groups with focus being to counter German U-boats rather than secure our SLOCs
- Germany destroyed our shipping
- We then focused on securing SLOCs by using convoy system and developing better ASW
- Differing view of Mahan's on what command of the sea is led to realization that keeping open lines of operation and communication should always be an objective, not treating the sea as territory and fighting decisive battles
Large Navy = More World Power
Sir Julian Corbett
"it is almost impossible that a war can be decided by naval action alone; unaided naval pressure can only
work by a process of exhaustion. Its effects must always be slow, and so galling both to our own
commercial community and to neutrals, that the tendency is always to accept terms of peace that
are far from conclusive."
- Roosevelt used Mahanian theory as his reasoning to expand navy
