It also explains and analyzes in some detail the main methods of disputing sea control – avoiding\/seeking decisive encounters, weakening enemy naval forces over time, counter-containment of enemy naval forces, destroying the enemy’s military-economic potential at sea, attacks on the enemy coast, defense of the coast, defense\/capturing important positions\/basing areas, and defense\/capturing of a choke point. A majority of the world’s navies are currently of small or medium-size. In the case of a war with a much stronger opponent, they would be strategically on the defensive, and their main objective then would be to dispute control of the sea by a stronger side at sea. This book provides a practical guide to such a strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book would be of much interest to students of naval power, maritime security, strategic studies and military\/naval history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45575279509742,"sku":"9781138485914","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138485914.jpg?v=1720947750","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/maritime-strategy-and-sea-denial-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
