Naval Warfare Fresh Look at the San REmo Manual

This article represents a work in progress for a war gaming journal. it deals with the naval aspect of the " coming invasion " or " next war " craze of the two world war preludes of the 20 th century. it contains various drafts and notes from open sources. As such it is a rough draft.

HISTORY reveals that when man exhausted his imagination in resolving the problem of power or survival on land then he turned to sea as an alternative approach for expansion of territory or defence both as an attacker and defenders.

Western naval theoreticians and planners in recent years have neglected the study of major naval operations, of the sort carried out by the U.S. Navy in World War II. But it would be dangerous to assume that major naval operations are of simply historical interest; they should be thought about more systematically

The armed forces are usually conversant with the rules on the use of force against the enemy in the traditional battle space. However, they are usually ill-equipped for this when the opponent is not a regular combatant – a militant or even a criminal – operating in seemingly benign environs. This constitutes a serious legal void, particularly given the emerging environment wherein navies would be increasingly tasked to perform constabulary functions. The trend is best exemplified by the case of the Indian Navy that is entrusted with the responsibility for the nation’s overall maritime security, including coastal and offshore security. This paper examines the challenges & the salient related issues for maritime forces.

This book chapter seeks to examine some key issues related to the technology and maritime warfare in the contemporary era which are: (a) Role of innovation, Research and Development (R&D) for technological superiority; (b) Impact of technology on the changing nature of warfare, the use of armed force and its impact on maritime warfare; (c) Impact of the latest Information Technology (IT) driven Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) and technology as a key enabler.

Technological innovation has accelerated in the maritime domain, and major navies worldwide must increasingly deal with emerging and disruptive technologies. Some of the most recent advancements in the field of naval combat systems have touched a number of key capabilities, including unmanned systems, quantum technology, hypersonic and conventional missiles, and directed energy weapons. Additionally, new geopolitical competitions are increasingly taking place on the global seas. Russia and China have invested in capabilities aimed at engaging enemy vessels at an increased range and/or disabling its infrastructures. The US Navy, for its part, is attempting to transition to a force with a larger proportion of small manned and unmanned ships, aircraft and underwater vehicles. In Europe, the French Navy has to juggle technological innovation with an overstretched fleet and the running costs of an independent nuclear deterrent, while the UK is seeking to leverage flexibility and lethality against similar constraints. On the other hand, the German Navy may not benefit from the ongoing uplift of its national defence budget. Italy is undergoing an important modernisation process which is increasing its capabilities for high-end naval warfare and power projection.
