LST Discharging British Wounded, watercolor on paper, by Mitchell Jamieson, ca. 1944, shows a landing craft unloading wounded British Royal Marines at a southern English port during the first days of the Normandy invasion in June 1944. In “The British and the Limitations of Maritime Maneuver,” Geoffrey Till reviews Britain’s experience with the concept of maritime maneuver associated with Sir Julian Corbett, to which many strategists are turning as a means of achieving their ends in an era of intensifying great-power competition across the oceans, examining the costs, challenges, and limitations that must be resolved if maritime maneuver is to fulfill its strategic promise.
