Naval War College Review
Volume 64, Number 4 (2011) Autumn
Our cover image was designed by the artists of the Naval War College’s Visual Communication Department to mark the entry to the office suite in newly renovated Luce Hall of the College’s International Programs staff. Since then it has become familiar about the campus as a symbol of the extensive (and growing) activity of the International Programs organization—comprising primarily its two resident programs, the Naval Command College and Naval Staff College—and of the College’s contribution to maritime security cooperation in general.
