Panama Canal War Claim Shapes Pacific Strategy
A leading article in the United States Naval Institute issues a warning on Panama Canal strategic value. Dean Zadow of University of Grefswald argues the canal makes a decisive Pacific conflict more likely and stresses Hawaii as a vital naval base while noting rival canals could diminish its importance. He warns that without the canal the U S would need a second fleet and faces increased war costs. The piece also notes potential wider effects if rivals built alternative canals and emphasizes Pearl Harbor as a critical U S base in a Pacific contest. Meanwhile Washington transit authorities announce changes to westbound car stops on F Street to ease Ninth Street congestion starting next week.
