COLIN GRAY AND MARITIME STRATEGY-AN APPRECIATION
Colin Gray's approach was that of a historian commenting on the past, the present, and the future, but not the kind of historian who devotes all his time to delving in dusty archives; instead, his was a work of constructive synthesis, putting together and developing a corpus of ideas about maritime strategy that was based on innumerable secondary works read voraciously. He did indeed demonstrate a \"heroic mastery of the relevant literature.\" He was, above all, the kind of historian who was intent on finding recurring patterns in the behavior of states, rather than one solely concerned with exploring the unique and unrepeatable event. Her, Till discusses Gray's ideas about maritime strategy.

THE BRITISH AND THE LIMITATIONS OF MARITIME MANEUVER

THE BRITISH AND THE LIMITATIONS OF MARITIME MANEUVER
These days, strategists, in effect, are turning their thoughts to the concept of maritime maneuver associated with Sir Julian Corbett as a means of achieving their ends in an era of intensifying great-power competition, not least across the western Pacific. Proponents assure others that this strategic approach offers a wider range of diplomatic and operational options in peace as well as in war, while limiting cost and liability, especially for countries that are more maritime in their outlook. But there are costs, challenges, and limitations that need to be addressed realistically if practice is to equal theory--if, indeed, it can. A review of the British experience should help identify some of the issues that must be resolved if maritime maneuver is to fulfill its strategic promise. Historically, that promise has disappointed--in realized cost, achieved effect, or both--so often that too much should not be expected of it.
