I could've also mentioned Sir Julian Corbett, the British naval strategist - I think you've written about him as well as Mahan. I didn't include Corbett because he did not serve in Royal Navy. But he was associated with the RN as a civilian - historian and strategist. Perhaps he serves as a useful model for links between military and civilian establishments. Umm, will have to look into that. Thanks YH. I could’ve also mentioned Sir Julian Corbett, the British naval strategist – I think you’ve written about him as well as Mahan.

Alfred Thayer Mahan wrote Sea Power and its Influence Upon History. His work put the US Navy ahead of the Royal Navy in theory long before WWI. Some say that the Germans misinterpreting his writings lead to WWI. The US Navy's pacific campaign in WWII was textbook Mahan and his theory is still used today. Some say that the Chinese PLAN build-up is them wising up to Mahanic principles. That site left one huge thinker whose writing are still very relevant today.
