Terrorism, piracy, smuggling and environmental hazards are forcing the RAN and other navies to forsee a demanding future, when we'll rely on the forces they design today. The wisdom of early masters of naval strategy helps when facing new visitations of age old challenges. But to tackle them now needs fresh and agile thinking. In this book, commentators thinking that way examine shifting realities of technology, the environment, industry, fleet design and power relations.
