Abstract

On assuming the presidency of the Naval War College immediately after World War II, Admiral Raymond Spruance called upon the United States to maintain a balanced operational fleet, an adequate afloat train and shore-base system, and a first-rate merchant marine—all as elements of a total, integrated package of American sea power.
