Rather than try to size up every contingency confronting Washington in 700-odd words, let me offer a few handy concepts from our strategy and policy course here at the Naval War College in Newport, R.I.

A better solution, argues Milan Vego, a professor of operations at the Naval War College, would be to take that money and spend it on a larger fleet of smaller, simpler ships - lightweight corvette warships, for example, and patrol boats that are updated versions of the Swift Boats that plied the rivers and deltas of Vietnam. That way the Navy could be in more places at any one time, which makes sense in a world in which many threats are diffuse and individually weak rather than concentrated and... (Boston Globe)
