| Opplysninger | "This book explains both the strategic and the operational aspects of exercising control of the sea. The struggle for sea control consists of three mutually related and overlapping phases: obtaining, maintaining, and exercising sea control. It is in the phase of exercising sea control when one's strategic or operational success is exploited; otherwise, the fruits of victories achieved would be wasted. This work describes the strategy of a stronger side in wartime after a desired degree of control has been obtained, which is followed by a discussion on the objectives and main methods used in exercising sea control. The remaining chapters explain and analyse in some detail each of the main methods of exercising sea control: defence and protection of one's own and destruction/neutralization of the enemy's military-economic potential at sea; capturing the enemy's operationally important positions ashore; destroying/weakening the enemy's military-economic potential ashore; and supporting one's ground forces in their offensive and defensive operations on the coast. This book will be of much interest to students of strategic studies, seapower and naval history"--
