“Sea power” refers to the power exerted by a state through its capacity to use the sea for both military and civilian purposes. The ability to use the seas for transport and other civilian purposes such as fishing and, more recently, exploitation of resources on or under the sea bed has generated considerable debate.

In reference to land warfare, Mahan emphasized three principles that are of crucial importance: first, he stressed the inherent value of a strategic central position, emphasized the principle of concentration, and saw a crucial relationship between logistics and combat (Crowl 1986, p. 456). For Mahan, the strategic value of a place is defined by th...
Corbett, a lawyer and writer and thus the only civilian in the ranks of blue-water naval thinkers, sees the navy and its strategic deployment as an integral part of the art of war. With Clausewitz’ concept in mind, he sees the strategic and tactical deployment of fleets not as an end in itself but to achieve corresponding goals in war and thus poli...
Already during the Second World War, new considerations began to be verbalized on a tactical and strategic level. As early as 1943, the first ideas of a common military culture within a holistic framework were being considered, so that a grand strategy for achieving victory could be developed by using all available means (Mortensen 1987, p. 15). In...
In order to give the supposedly abstract concept of Sea Power an even more practical reference, the levels of today’s maritime operations will be briefly discussed below. For Corbett, the strategy also included the operations of a naval campaign. The American Admiral J.C. Wylie put it this way: tactics are in effect when there is contact between on...
May 15, 2019 · Salinity gradient power is described as the energy generated due to the salt concentration difference between two liquids. The generation of this energy involves two stages. They are classified as standalone which involves a plant placed between the sea and a water body and the hybrid production method.

Tidal power generation is a relatively well-developed ocean power generation technology. As at the end of 2013, the installed capacity of ocean power generation in the world had reached approximately 530 MW, and the world's largest ocean power station was the 254 MW tidal power generation station in South Korea (Zhenya, 2016). Ocean energy has ...
Ocean science, and marine technology and operations, require a knowledge of the distribution and evolution in space and time of the properties of the sea. The functions of space and time, or state variables, which characterize the state of the sea under observation are classically designated as fields.
Exploring the extent to which the permanent elements associated with seapower - such as technology, commerce, and maritime culture - transcend historical periods, Basil Germond frames contemporary seapower as a combination of components, including traditional naval power, post-modern conceptions of collective and civilian seapower, and the neo-modern phenomena of maritime territorialization ...

What drives astronomers to ask, “What’s out there?” and oceanographers, “What’s down there?” Despite covering 71 percent of the planet, only 5 percent of the ocean has been explored. Now more than ever in human history, tools and technologies are providing oceanographers and astronomers with increasing opportunities to explore the depths of the ocean and the expanse of space.
