This book argues that the UK, as a post-modern globalised state, will
require means to have influence over events and opponents that
threaten the UK's interests in the 21st century, and that its means is
the Royal Navy. However, unlike other studies, this research
emphasizes the role of logistics, especially afloat support logistics
and the Royal Fleet Auxiliary. In doing so, the author rejects the
current theory underpinning military operations at distance, that
distance degrades capability, and posits an alternative theory, that
time is the key factor, for maritime-based forces. The UK must
reengage with its maritime status and maintain a maritime-based
capability to protect its interests in the new maritime century as a
leader within the international community. The book will be of use to
scholars and researchers interested in naval history and defence
policy.
