The Navy as Insurance for a Nation’s Security
The author argues there is no international police or arbitration and stresses the U S must lead in creating peace institutions. He warns that without self defense the nation faces grave risk, citing 17 000 miles of coastline and 20 0000 American citizens near the water as evidence that the navy is vital insurance for coastwise property and national security. He notes forts and torpedoes alone cannot deter a determined fleet commander and that protection extends beyond export goods.
