R. SMEDBERG III, U. S. NAVY Chief of Naval Personnel Early in the seventeenth century Sir Walter Raleigh observed that Whosoever commands the sea, commands the trade, whosoever com- mands the trade of the world, commands the riches of the world and, consequently, the world itselff, This principle is as true today as it was centuries ago. The startling advances in transportation and weapon technology have not lessened the importance of trade via the sea power to world freedom and our nation's prosperity. The sea comprises over 70 percent of the world's surface. Over 99 percent of the tonnage imported or exported to or from the United States travels on the sea. Of the 77 raw materials considered strategic to our existence, 66 must be imported from nations across the seas. On any one day there are, on the average, over 2000 ships at sea engaged in bringing items of trade to and from our country and the friendly nations of the world. It would be impossible for our country or any friendly country to survive today without the free use of the seas. As Napoleon learned to his sorrow, those storm tossed ships out theren were the life-blood of his country's power, and without control of the seas, defense for any length of time was impossible. A strong Navy, now and in the future, is our only real guarantee for a defense against aggression and the threat of communism. The communists, always good students of history, have learned the importance of a strong Navy to control the seaways too. They are building a Navy at a frantic pace. Presently the Russians are estimated to have more than 450 submarines, having learned from us and the Germans the importance of submarines in controlling the seas from World War II. This number far exceeds Germany's submarines, num- bering 57, which almost brought England to her knees in the early stages of World War II-and exceeds the number that we presently have. Navy Strategy 65 Tactics In the face of the constant aggression of communism, the United States has geared her offensive and defensive power to retaliate re- gardless of the type of aggression, be it cold war, brush hte incidents, political revolution or all-out atomic war. In all of these areas, the Navy plays the principle part in maintaining the freedom of the friendly nations of the world. Lebanon is an excellent example. Our Sixth Fleet carriers and Marines were there within seven hours of the call for help. N Our Seventh Fleet has demonstrated that aggression can be thwarted by the presence of our fast carrier attack force in and around Formosa, Korea and other Asiatic nations. , Our Polaris-launching submarines spell the absolute deterrant to atomic war, providing hidden mobile atomic missile bases all over the world capable of striking enemy bases on a moment's notice. The Navy insures our position as the leading sea power by being strong in three tactical areas: a. Fast moving carrier task forces, dispersed in action over an area the size of New York State, capable of delivering nuclear Weapons against distant targets or, in limited wars, unleashing just the right amount of punch to terminate aggression. These task forces can destroy enemy targets without endangering our allies. They can also land Marine troops through helicopter vertical envelopement to take and occupy critical disputed areas. Today one carrier based supersonic plan is capable of delivering explosive power equivalent to that of all bombs used in World War II. b. Highly technical and fast moving anti-submarine warfare task forces to search out and destroy enemy submarines threatening mer- chant sea lanes and our carrier task forces. This group combines the talents of killer submarines, a versatile air combination of bombers,
