"Sales/posting to the USA suspended". Card covers, xii/140pp. A fine copy.

Major advances in relevant technologies have a major impact on naval forces and how they might conduct future operations. Importantly these advances extend beyond weapons and sensors to information technology and the impact they may have on all aspects of shipborne operations and warfighting.

A natural follow-on from this are ideas on the utility of navies as tools of statecraft from both hard and soft power perspectives, as well as an emerging maritime school of strategic thought in Australia.
