But he mostly writes about the tactical level of individual battles rather than the strategic picture. His views on what "littoral" warfare (which used to be known as coastal warfare - did somebody need to come up with a new buzzword for funding?) seem to me on the side of the minor powers. He specifically mentions Scandanavian type navies as a real menace to US type navies in their own territory, despite the size/economic disadvantage. cheers,
