Luce, Mahan, and their successors had to ward off repeated efforts by various secretaries of the navy to disestablish the institution—challenges fed in large part by the ingrained skepticism of many U.S. Navy officers who still believed that everything one needed to know about the naval profession could be learned aboard ship.
Building upon the foundations of Luce and Mahan, a systematic method of tactical analysis borrowed from the German General Staff was introduced to acquaint officers with procedures for estimating military situations, determining action, drafting appropriate implementing orders, and evaluating results.
The return to the educational ideals of Luce and Mahan which began in the 1950s and accelerated through the early 1960s was paralleled toward the end of the latter decade by a building program begun under Vice Admiral John T. Hayward that added three new buildings to the College.

Admiral Luce organized the War College as "a place of original research on all questions relating to war and the statesmanship connected with war, or the prevention of war."
His lectures on naval history became its central feature, describing the geopolitical factors upon which maritime power was based, the role of a fleet of capital ships in expanding that power, and the relationship between seapower in all its forms and national greatness.

 Chapter 15: American Military History, Volume I
The historical writings of Alfred T. Mahan were particularly influential in establishing the framework of a global, blue-water fleet focused on the dominance of the Navy, the establishment of refueling bases, and the aggressive protection of commerce.
During the same period, the Naval War College at Newport, Rhode Island (established in 1885 through the efforts of Admiral Luce), had provided the Navy with a strong corps of professional officers trained in the higher levels of warfare and strategy, including the far-ranging doctrines of Mahan.
During the quarter of a century preceding 1898, the Army averaged only about 26,000 officers and men, most of whom were scattered widely across the country in company- and battalion-size organizations.
