Episode 28: Naval Theorists: Mahan and Corbett
Milan Vego, operational thinker from the U.S. Naval War College; Kevin McCranie, naval historian comparing Mahan and Corbett; James Holmes, maritime theorist and historian. They contrast Mahan’s concentrate-and-decide logic with Corbett’s joint, sea-as-a-means approach. They untangle myths about offense versus defense, explain fleet-in-being and commerce raiding, and debate sea control versus sea denial for today’s maritime contests.
