Naval strategy, 1945-1980 : the post-World War II transoceanic strategy -- The 1980s : the strategic environment of the early 1980s -- The Goldwater-Nichols Act and Navy strategy -- The Gulf War, Revolution in Military Affairs, and strategic change -- Making the change in naval strategy.
Summary:
"Strategy Shelved examines the rise and eventual fall of the U.S. Navy's Cold War era naval strategy system from the immediate post-World War II era to 1994. It focuses on the 1970s and 1980s as a period when U.S. naval strategic thought and creation was rebuilt after a period of stagnation during the Vietnam conflict and its high watermark in the form of the 1980s Maritime Strategy and its attendant 600 ship navy force structure"-- Provided by publisher.
