WASHINGTON NAVY YARD – Naval History and Heritage Command released its newest publication, The U.S. Navy and Innovation: Twentieth-Century Case Studies, online, September 24, 2024.
The new book, edited by NHHC historian Peter C. Luebke, represents a collective effort by NHHC to share the stories of naval innovation and the innovators themselves amid the great power struggles of the twentieth century
“Your Navy is accountable to one of history’s largest and most diverse democracies; your global mission is in many regards unparalleled. Thus, often, your past can be your own best case study,” said Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro in the publication’s foreword.
The publication presents eight case studies that cover nearly the full span of the century, ranging from the naval arms race prior to World War I to the Navy’s strategy renaissance of the 1980s.
Presenting innovations achieved and implemented both during wartime and outside it, each case study provides examples of innovative changes in technology, doctrine, or strategy, with several studies showing the complex interplay among these factors.
