{"product_id":"sea-power-in-the-twenty-first-charles-koburger-9780275953003","title":"Sea Power in the Twenty-First Century: Projecting a Naval Revolution","description":"As the U.S. Navy enters the twenty-first century, many of the ships, aircraft, weapons, and tactics it employed so successfully during the Cold War will no longer be cost-effective or even effective. Future battlefields will shift the locus of naval action from the high seas into littoral waters, demanding sustained operations in relatively narrow, shallow waters. Naval forces in the twenty-first century must not only meet the traditional requirements of command of the sea--ships, planes, troops, and bases--carrying out forward presence, crisis response, strategic deterrence, and sealift. They must now put these together to obtain the four key operational capabilities of littoral warfare: command, control, intelligence and surveillance, and communication; battlespace dominance; power projection; and force sustainment. The core of the new U.S. strategic concept is \u003ci\u003epower projection\u003c\/i\u003e, and it envisions naval forces directly leading Army and Air Force elements to influence events ashore, most probably in the Third World. And this navy must be cost effective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles Koburger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275953009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275953003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.38w x 0.82d","brand":"Charles Koburger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135958561023,"sku":"9780275953003","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87794272-5dd2-43c0-8ce4-204cdf1c216b.jpg?v=1770159576","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sea-power-in-the-twenty-first-charles-koburger-9780275953003","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
