Is there a Place for a Naval Doctrine?

Abstract

U.S. Maritime Strategy is examined in the light of generic definitions of doctrine illuminated by the examples of U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force doctrine. Concluding that the U.S. Navy has no overall doctrine, the question whether one is needed is posed. Probing the benefits that could be gained from an overall U.S. Navy Doctrine and exploring the ends that a U.S. Navy Doctrine should or could serve, this paper advances a proposed Naval Doctrine.
