It also explains and analyzes in some detail the main methods of disputing sea control - avoiding\/seeking decisive encounters, weakening enemy naval forces over time, counter-containment of enemy naval forces, destroying the enemy's military-economic potential at sea, attacks on the enemy coast, defense of the coast, defense\/capturing important positions\/basing areas, and defense\/capturing of a choke point. A majority of the world's navies are currently of small or medium-size. In the case of a war with a much stronger opponent, they would be strategically on the defensive, and their main objective then would be to dispute control of the sea by a stronger side at sea. This book provides a practical guide to such a strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book would be of much interest to students of naval power, maritime security, strategic studies and military\/naval history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Milan Vego\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138485918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138485914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Milan Vego","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46617872662783,"sku":"9781138485914","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a18df243-5665-4a15-b20a-4439dfb7d7ef.jpg?v=1740068564","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maritime-strategy-and-sea-denial-milan-vego-9781138485914","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
