After purchasing every Admiralty Trilogy product published, he decided to join the production end of things rather than just consume. He wrote or edited the scenarios and wrote some of the sidebars. Larry Bond is a writer and game designer. He assembled the Annexes, worked on the sidebars, rules expansions and the storyline. Chris Carlson is an accomplished naval analyst and game designer. He worked on the sidebars, rules expansions and the storyline. He also validated the Annexes. Acknowledgments Thanks to A.D.

5 5 Clash of Titans by Dr. John F. Lehman The decade of the 1970s was the low point in the fortunes of the United States as leader of the free world alliance in the Cold War. The Watergate scandal, defeat in Vietnam and a deep loss of confidence by our national leadership resulted by the end of the decade in a world in which the Soviet Union was ascendant and The United States seemed to be paralyzed by what President Carter called a national malaise. The size, capability and morale of American Armed forces had drastically declined. Ronald Reagan campaigned for President in 1980 promising to rearm America and to return the Free World to an assertive foreign policy designed ultimately to prevail over the Evil Empire. Upon election he asked me to lead the Navy in carrying out its part in his new national security policy. Our first priority was to reestablish the morale and selfconfidence of the naval service, to make sure that every sailor understood that they had an elite and a historic mission to make the Soviets understand that if they went to war we would sink them. The response to these efforts and more importantly President Reagan s constant reassertion of respect for the military was almost instantaneous: recruiting and retention went from all time lows to all time highs in less than six months. The next priority was to reestablish a winning strategy. In testimony to Congress and in numerous articles and media appearances we laid out a clear strategy of maritime superiority fully integrated with actual war plans. Some commentators were shocked that an administration would actually use the word superiority it had become politically incorrect because it was thought to be provocative to the Soviets. But the Reagan administration was not breaking new ground. Since the time of Theodore Roosevelt it had been naval and national orthodoxy that the United States must have a Navy superior not only to any other Navy but also to any potential combination of naval adversaries. The President gave a speech with resounding success outlining our maritime strategy on December 28, It read in part:...although the Soviet Union is historically a land power, virtually self-sufficient in mineral and energy resources and land-linked to Europe and the vast stretches of Asia, it has created a powerful blue ocean Navy that cannot be justified by any legitimate defense need. It is a Navy built for offensive action, to cut freeworld supply lines and render impossible the support by sea of free-world allies. By contrast the United States is a naval power by necessity, critically dependent on the transoceanic import of vital strategic materials. Over 90% of our commerce between continents moves in ships. Freedom to use the seas is our nation s lifeblood. For that reason our Navy is designed to keep the sea lanes open worldwide - a far greater task than closing those sea lanes at strategic choke points. Maritime superiority for us is a necessity. We must be able in time of emergency to venture in harm s way, controlling air, surface, and subsurface areas to assure access to all the oceans of the world. Failure to do so will leave the credibility of our conventional defense forces in doubt. We are... building a 600 ship fleet, including fifteen carrier battle groups. That, in short, was our strategy. To accomplish it we needed to obtain from Congress a building program capable of producing 600 ships. The first priority if the Soviets attacked would be to establish early control of the sea bridge of the North Atlantic and then carry the offensive to the vulnerable northern approaches of the Soviet Union through the Norwegian Sea. Another high priority would be to establish immediate control of the Mediterranean to defend NATO s southern flank and to carry the fight to the enemy through its southern flank. Additional critical tasks would be to insure control of the Persian Gulf and its strategic oil supplies, the Indian Ocean and its vital sea lanes, and the strategic straits of Sunda and Malacca in Southeast Asia; assure the successful defense of Japan and our allies in Southeast Asia; and to maintain control of the North Pacific, to protect Alaska and its vital oil supply as well as carry the fight to the Soviet Union s thinly guarded eastern flanks.
6 6 Equally important to these sea control tasks were the maintenance of the sea-based nuclear deterrent with the Trident and Poseidon submarines and ballistic missiles. And everything would have to be done simultaneously, not sequentially. Derived from all these tasks, the full program that we sent to Congress included fifteen carrier battle groups, four battleship battle groups, 250 frigates, destroyers and cruisers, 100 attack submarines and 40 strategic submarines and amphibious ships sufficient to lift two full Marine amphibious brigades. A strong consensus emerged behind this program. By the time that I left the Navy Department in April 1987, we had 594 ships in commission and thirty under construction. As important as the strategy and building program were to reversing our fortunes in the Cold War, the most important thing we could do was to deploy and operate the Navy in a way that would leave the Soviet Union with no doubt as to our seriousness of intent and our ability to defeat them if they were to risk war. We began at once by changing the nature of the annual NATO naval exercises, which for many years had been solely defensive in nature. The northern flank of NATO, Norway, Denmark, and neutral Sweden were the most exposed to Soviet military power and the most difficult to defend. Because of the defensive mindset that had dominated naval planning, for many years navies were prohibited from sending aircraft carriers into the Norwegian Sea for exercises. This prohibition was immediately dropped and in the annual NATO naval exercise in the autumn of 1981, we sent three aircraft carriers along with two British jump jet carriers into the Norwegian Sea practicing not only amphibious landings to defend Norway but offensive air strikes from aircraft carriers based in the Norwegian fjords into the vulnerable Soviet military targets on the Kola Peninsula. The Soviets were impressed. We repeated these exercises every year and did similar fleet exercises in the Northwest Pacific as well. I personally took part and made sure I met with the press in Norway or the UK to draw attention to our changed strategy. We were very much in the Soviets face, with the intention of forcing a major reassessment by them and hopefully a real crisis of self-confidence in their military high command. * * * * * By 1984 there was a fundamental shift in Soviet naval strategy. Instead of deploying their attack subs aggressively to both coasts of the United States, and conducting fleet exercises training to interdict the Atlantic sea bridge, they pulled their nuclear strategic missile submarines under the polar ice cap and used their fleet for defending those boats rather than practicing attacking NATO. The Soviets were back on their heels. The End of the Cold War The purpose of the grand Reagan strategy of which the 600 ship Navy and maritime supremacy were an important part was to instill in Soviet decision makers the realization that American weakness in the 1970s was an aberration; they could never achieve the military advantage they had pursued in the preceding decade. Their vast military building program was like their vast, centrally controlled economy, an abject failure. Their support of Castro and revolution in Latin America and Africa had failed; their support of terrorists in the Middle East had failed; their attempt to destabilize NATO had failed; their attempt to achieve strategic nuclear superiority had failed; and their attempt to achieve maritime supremacy had failed utterly. I left the Reagan administration in 1987 to return to private life knowing that the objectives of maritime supremacy had been achieved. I did not dream, however, that the grand strategy of which it was an element would bring about the actual collapse of the Soviet empire a few years later. Exactly how much had the 600 ship Navy contributed to that victory no one can say. But we can say with certainty that without it the Cold War would not have ended when, or in the way it did.
