- catalog abstract ""This revisionist study shows how the Royal Navy's ideas about the meaning and application of seapower shaped its policies during the years between the wars. Drawing on a wide range of sources, the author examines the navy's ongoing struggle with the Treasury for funds, the meaning of the 'one power standard', naval strategies for war with the United States, Japan, Germany and Italy, the influence of writers such as Mahan and Corbett, the role of the navy in peacetime, and the navy's use of propaganda to influence the British public." "This book provides the first comprehensive survey of the Royal Navy's war plans, and the only detailed study of its controversial strategy against Japan. It shows that the 'Singapore Strategy' has been widely misunderstood, and that naval leaders of this period had a more sophisticated and flexible understanding of the strengths and limitations of seapower than previous studies have recognized."--Jacket.".
