  Philip Howard Colomb - LoveToKnow 1911
PHILIP HOWARD COLOMB (1831-1899), British viceadmiral, historian, critic and inventor, the son of General G. Colomb, was born in Scotland, on the 29th of May 1831.
After his retirement Colomb devoted himself rather to the history of naval warfare, and to the large principles disclosed by its intelligent study, than to experimental inquiries having an immediate practical aim.
His younger brother, SIR John Colomb (1838-1909), was closely associated in the pioneer work done for British naval strategy and Imperial defence, and his name stands no less high among those who during this period promoted accurate thinking on the subject of sea-power.

 Philip Howard Colomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His younger brother Sir John Colomb was also a soldier and strategist of the Royal Navy.
Between 1858 and 1868 Colomb was employed in home waters on a variety of special services, chiefly connected with gunnery, signalling and the tactical characteristics and capacities of steam warships.
Colomb did not invent the term "sea-power", as it is of very ancient origin, nor did he employ it until Captain Mahan of the United States Navy had made it a household word with all.

 Imperial Defence 1868-1887 : Book reviews : JMR
The hero of the piece is Captain John Colomb R.M., whose pamphleteering from 1867 was a constant message urging the creation of an integrated system of imperial defence.
The key political figure was the Conservative peer, Lord Carnarvon, whose ability to work consistently across the political divide in the interest in imperial defence, was crucial to taking ideas forward throughout this period.
While the political heads of these departments viewed the problem with varying degrees of enthusiasm or concern, the professional administrators inched the debate and the organisational structures forward. The First Naval Lord, Sir Alexander Milne, was important, both in and out of office.

By far the most interesting form of the foolishness for Christ's sake is to be found in the 13th to 16th centuries in Russia [58], as the "fool" saints canonized by the Russian Church being the most known cases of these type of ascesis [59].
