British navy was a peace agency
OF first Importance in keeping
the world free from war.
British naval theorists were
intelligent; their naval archi-
tects built ahead OF the naval
construction of other nations.
Both of these things contrib
uted decisively to maintaining
British repute.
On the whole II contributed
to the general benefit OF nations.
Even the New World owed
much Of its security to the
existence of the British fleet.
The striking thing is that for
century and better, the Brit
ish navy did not have TO fight.
When the first World War
opened, and for period long
previous TO this world catastro-
phe, there was not a British
seaman who ever had been in
important naval action.
CMALL wonder then, that ma
~ val theories were debatable:
that the power and freedom Of
fleets were considered to be
narrowly circumscribed; that
the usefulness of almost every
type of combat ship was criti-
cized, some because they were
called obsolete: some because
they were too novel and had not
demonstrated their practical
character.
1t is now noteworthy that the
demonstration of what naval
power can do. and of the rela-

THE operations OF American
Il naval forces under Admiral
Of the Fleet Nimitz, during the
last three years. have been so
varied and so vast, that IL is
probable that the doctrine OF
naval warfare. that has been
theoretically developed. will un-
dergo great revision. II may
even be revolutionized.
The history Of naval warfare,
from Trafalgar 10 the present
war, contains so few naval bat
ties of consequence. that theor-
lists of naval power and stra-
tegy were unable TO create a
doctrine that had general ac-
ceptance even among navy men.
There were too few actions
by which theories could be
tested.
Even such naval fights as
occurred in considerably more
than century, were theoreuc-
ally inconclusive.
ENGLAND, for a century, was
IL the great example OF sea
power. Until 1900 the British
feet so ruled the seas that there
was no contestant ready TO chal-
lenge its supremacy.
England kept peace on the
seas. protected her colonial en-
pire. and controlled the great
seaways of the world for a hun
dred years, without. fighting one
naval action Of consequence.
Inasmuch as British interests
were favored by peace, the
