OSTI ID:6884929

This book discusses the naval arms race and considers its implications for international security, for the freedom of the high seas, for international shipping routes, and for the exploitation of marine resources. It assesses the current extent of force capabilities and the imbalances stemming from differing geopolitical and other factors. It describes the implications for international security represented by the increasing deployment at sea of strategic nuclear forces, by the numbers and extent of tactical nuclear weapons, and by the recent introduction of long-range, sea-launched cruise missiles.
