Fact sheet for Naval History and Heritage Command publication “The U.S. Navy and Innovation: Twentieth-Century Case Studies.” Edited by Peter C. Luebke, this volume presents a series of eight case studies to illustrate how the U.S. Navy went about innovation amid the great power struggles of the twentieth century. The eight chapters 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. Several show the complex interplay among these factors.
