Topic: Stephen Luce


  
 History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
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.
