		Inferences were made by Sims of the criticism he had of Navy Secretary Daniels and he blamed the democratic administration for having caused serious delays in navy operations, and for causing derelictions in directing naval warfare.
		Admiral Sims provided in his book that even with the combined navies of the Allies (approximately one million men), they were still unable to offset the Grand Fleet's thirty submarines and 1,500 German submariners who came dangerously near achieving victory by simply cutting off England's food supplies.
		Sims established naval strategy and breathed its theories into the Naval War College in which the might of U.S. and British naval forces would combine to safeguard democracy and the freedom of the seas.

		In Technological Change and the United States Navy, William M. McBride examines how the navy dealt with technological change-from the end of the Civil War through the "age of the battleship"-as technology became more complex and the nation assumed a global role.
		Although steam engines generally made their mark in the maritime world by 1865, for example, and proved useful to the Union riverine navy during the Civil War, a backlash within the service later developed against both steam engines and the engineers who ran them.
		Andrew Williams focuses on the first four years of this bitter conflict, during which time German submarines sank an astounding twelve million tons of Allied shipping.
