	Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Naval warfare continued in this vein through the Middle Ages until cannon became commonplace and capable of being reloaded quickly enough to be reused in the same battle.
		England emerged as a major naval power in the mid-Seventeenth Century in the first Anglo-Dutch war with a technical victory but successive decisive Dutch victories in the second and third Anglo-Dutch wars confirmed the Dutch mastery of the seas during the Dutch Golden Age, financed by the expansion of the Dutch Empire.
		By the late 20th Century, naval power had become a major element in the military and strategic power of a country's power projection capabilities, though some would suggest its importance has declined in the wake of the development of military aviation and air power.

	Navy League of the United States - Citizens in Support of the Sea Services
		Versatile naval expeditionary forces are almost always the nation's first responders in times of crisis--and, as such, are relied upon to influence the course of events, control the early phases of hostilities, and set the conditions for decisive resolution.
		Naval transformation is and must be a continuous process, tailored by each naval service to its particular missions and culture, culminating in a set of complementary total-force capabilities in support of joint forces.
		The naval services are embarked today on a wide range of initiatives to radically change organizational arrangements, adopt fundamentally different concepts for military operations, and alter existing operational concepts through the incorporation of advanced technologies to achieve profound increases in military capabilities.

	Transoceanic Period
		It looked to local powers, such as Iran, to police the world's troubled regions and to provide the ground forces that might be necessary in a crisis, and, accordingly, it placed a premium on U.S. air and, especially, naval forces.
		While naval roles within Nixon's national security strategy were in many ways expanded, the force structure of the service was aging, the victim of neglect during the Vietnam War and reduced military spending in subsequent years.
		Carter expanded the naval presence of the United States in the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean, marking the beginning of what would turn out to be a decade of crisis and war in the region.

	Nuclear Propulsion
		Unlike commercial nuclear power plants, Naval reactors must be rugged and resilient enough to withstand decades of rigorous operations at sea, subject to a ship's pitching and rolling and rapidly-changing demands for power, possibly under battle conditions.
		On March 30, 1953, the STR was brought to power for the first time and the age of naval nuclear propulsion was born.
		The Navy makes shipments of naval spent fuel to INEL that are necessary to meet national security requirements to defuel or refuel nuclear powered submarines, surface warships, or naval prototype or training reactors, or to ensure examination of naval spent fuel from these sources.

	CONCEPT FOR NAVAL
		Naval forces must have an effective MCM capability to operate in distant waters in the early stages of regional hostilities, to protect vital follow-on sealift, to allow swift ship to objective maneuver in littoral power projection operations, and to conduct follow-on clearance or humanitarian operations.
		Naval forces will often be on the leading edge of such operation as they combine strategic mobility with maneuver to significantly expand the battlespace.
		Naval forces must be able to transit these high threat routes to demonstrate presence as hostilities escalate and position for forward operations and power projection.

	Alfred Mahan on Sea Power
		To turn now from the particular lessons drawn from the history of the past to the general question of the influence of government upon the sea career of its people, it is seen that that influence can work in two distinct but closely related ways.
		England's naval bases have been in all parts of the world; and her fleets have at once protected them, kept open the communications between them, and relied upon them for shelter.
		As regards purely military naval stations, the feeling of her people was probably accurately expressed by an historian of the English navy a hundred years ago, speaking then of Gibraltar and Port Mahon.

	Life of Jefferson: 30. Foreign Policy and Naval Power
		Jefferson on which he always acted and declared he would act, and that he would maintain it with the powers of the government against any control which might be attempted by the judiciary or legislature in subversion of his right to move independently in his peculiar province.
		Indeed, I wish we could have a convention with the naval powers of Europe for them to keep down the pirates of the Mediterranean and the slave ships on the coast of Africa, and for us to perform the same duties for the society of nations in our seas.
		The plan for the establishment of dry docks in pursuance of his naval system was always a fruitful theme of raillery against the President; and yet, it is somewhat surprising that the principle should have since been sanctioned by the government and have obtained the approbation of the greatest maritime powers in Europe.

	Britain & Germany: The Naval Arms Race
		Inevitably, this potential rivalry with Britain's overwhelming naval power, induced a certain apprehension in the latter, a country dependent on naval superiority for her very survival in a dangerous world.
		Thus was initiated the great Anglo-German naval rivalry of the years preceding the outbreak of World War I, expressed in Britain's resolve not to be outmatched, but rather to stay ahead of Germany in building the new behemoths of the seas, the Dreadnoughts, despite the huge financial burden involved.
		To have a strong navy would increase their prestige, their diplomatic influence, their power of protecting their commerce; but as regards us-- it is not a matter of life and death to them, as it is to us.

	The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire XXXVI
		Naval power of the Vandals, A.D. THE loss or desolation of the provinces from the Ocean to the Alps impaired the glory and greatness of Rome: her internal prosperity was irretrievably destroyed by the separation of Africa.
		The favourite servants who obtained such irregular powers were insolent in their behaviour and arbitrary in their demands: they affected to despise the subordinate tribunals, and they were discontented if their fees and profits did not twice exceed the sum which they condescended to pay into the treasury.
		Naval war of the Vandals, A.D. The kingdom of Italy, a name to which the Western empire was gradually reduced, was afflicted under the reign of Ricimer, by the incessant depredations of the Vandal pirates.

	Sea Power
		The third new method of employing naval forces in war or near-war is that of forward defense from attack by ballistic missiles.
		In the realm of military operations other than war, naval forces also contribute presence and amphibious capability, along with the ability to apply power at varying levels of intensity in "smaller scale contingencies." Maritime forces seek to ensure continued, unhindered and unrestricted use of the sea to further national or shared interests and objectives.
		Naval forces are normally the first forces into a crisis area and may comprise the enabling force that allows a joint force access to the region.

	Space Power: An Ill-Suited Space Strategy
		In the end, sea power is a measure of one nation’s ability to use the seas and oceans in defiance of rivals.
		Nevertheless, space power strategy based upon a classical power approach is ill suited for describing and considering the true nature of military strategy in, from, and through space.
		The problem with a Mahanian-style power strategy is that despite its usefulness when a country attempts to achieve supremacy in a medium of warfare, after the country has done so, its usefulness to the strategic planner or policy maker becomes minimal.
