This book, first published in 1991, provides a major analysis of the prelude to the US’s Cold War maritime strategy, showing how NATO’s maritime forces were organised in the period. It examines how the United States Navy and allied navies, particularly the Royal Navy, were incorporated into the Alliance’s nuclear and conventional deterrent forces. It looks at the structure of the main naval commands, the growth of Soviet maritime forces and the impact of the flexible response strategy on NATO’s naval posture in the 1970s. Drawing upon many declassified documents, this account fills an important gap in postwar literature on American seapower and its relation to European security. It also addresses important aspects of NATO strategy and organisation.

This unique book examines the current challenge of defending against sea and naval mines. With the end of the Cold War, NATO countries have embarked on transformation initiatives within their militaries to address the new security realities of the 21st century. One of the realities that has not changed is the threat posed by sea mines. Global proliferation of sea mines, both older variants and advanced new designs, has continued to grow and presents a unique challenge to maritime security. NATO naval forces must be prepared to counter the danger posed by mines to shipping, both civilian and military, and to ensure that vital sea lines of communication (SLOCS), strategic chokepoints throughout the world, commercial ports and naval bases remain open and uncontested as they find themselves participating in more security operations at home and abroad. There are two main questions that this paper seeks to address. The first concerns the threat. With major advances in military technology and changes to doctrine, is there really a sea mine threat that could pose a significant challenge to today's navies? NATO naval forces are the most sophisticated and technologically advanced in the world. Yet the first Gulf War in 1991 taught us that even relatively inexpensive and unsophisticated sea mines can have catastrophic effects on our capital ships. The low cost, ease of use, and tactical effectiveness of sea mines make them a very potent threat, even to modern navies. Thus, to adequately answer the question of threat, I will consider the problem of proliferation, mine technologies and employment, and methods to counter the threat. This leads to the second major question. Are NATO members adequately developing their MCM capability to meet the threat of sea mines? While it is true that NATO MCM forces are among the best, there are some notable shortfalls in capability development even as these countries push to develop new systems. This paper will analyze the new programs and initiatives that are shaping NATO's mine warfare community and discuss whether, and how, these programs are addressing the threat. This thesis argues that in an era where expeditionary warfare (and thus command of the littorals) is the central strategic requirement for naval forces, mine warfare must remain a primary warfare discipline and must continue to be properly resourced and developed to face the mine challenge of the 21st century.

Despite the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) taking its name from the ocean that ties Canada and the United States to their European allies, for most of NATO's history the alliance focused primarily on land power. However, with continental Europe at peace, the drawdown in Afghanistan, the rise of general unrest in North Africa and the Levant, and the American intent to pivot toward Asia, questions are increasingly arising about the capabilities of NATO's European navies to project power and sustain operations around their eastern and southern maritime flanks. These questions have grown even more urgent in the wake of those same navies' uneven performance in the 2011 military campaign against Muammar Gaddafi's Libya. Examining the major navies of America's European allies reveals a general desire, with the exception of Germany, to maintain a broad spectrum of naval capabilities, including carriers, submarines, and surface combatants. But given the significant reduction in each country's overall defense budget, procuring new, sophisticated naval platforms has come at the cost of rapidly shrinking fleet sizes, leaving some to wonder whether what is driving the decision to sustain a broad but thin naval fleet capability is as much national pride as it is alliance strategy.
