THE UK AS A MEDIUM MARITIME POWER IN THE 21ST C...

This book argues that the UK  as a post-modern globalised state  will require means to have
influence over events and opponents that threaten the UK's interests in the 21st century  and
that its means is the Royal Navy. However  unlike other studies  this research emphasizes the
role of logistics  especially afloat support logistics and the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. In doing
so  the author rejects the current theory underpinning military operations at distance  that
distance degrades capability  and posits an alternative theory  that time is the key factor 
for maritime-based forces. The UK must reengage with its maritime status and maintain a
maritime-based capability to protect its interests in the new maritime century as a leader
within the international community. The book will be of use to scholars and researchers
interested in naval history and defence policy.
