A Soviet Navy for the Nuclear Age

Abstract

Though the Imperial Russian Navy ahd some glorious moments and the modern Soviet Navy has become ever more visible, naval power has never played a primary role in either the Russian or the Soviet scheme of nationhood. The Soviet Navy is only part of a vast, highly integrated arry of continental and intercontinental military power, and Soviet military power is viewed by Soviet leaders as merely a single element of a broad "correlation" of political, economic, and military forces in the world. There is no question, however, that military power is critical in this Soviet view of the world, and that the Soviet Navy has managed to flourish.
