Naval War College Review
Abstract
In 1890 Captain Alfred T. Mahan published The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660-1783. That same year the secretary of the navy, Benjamin Tracy, published a report calling for an offensive battle fleet, and Congress passed legislation authorizing the construction of three first-line battleships. Both events were prompted by the concepts of sea power and offensive sea control.
