Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
A 4 page discussion of the relative importance of the world's naval forces. By World War II, in fact, the battleship had come to be regarded as the ultimate offensive weapon. During this time the theories of Clausewitz, a Prussian military strategist, were commonly employed by most of the major world players. Technological change was also an important element of warfare in this period. Some of the closest calls of World War II came as a result of the continued emphasis on the battle ship when technologically superior offensive weapons had evolved in the form of aircraft.
