For years it has been the practice of nearly all writers on the subject of the speed of sailing ships to rate the vessels by record passages between two geographical points, port-to-port, cape-to-cape, latitude-to-latitude, and so on. The stories of battling heavy seas and of constant driving to save a day or two are all very romantic, but to rate vessels by such records is meaningless. A comparison of passage times takes no consideration of such basic factors as vessel size and load and the weather. Port-to- port records often were exploited for their advertising value, but a ship setting a record one year rarely, if ever, repeated her feat. A sounder analysis of sailing vessel speeds has long been needed, not in the sense of debunking or detracting from a few well-known shipbuilders, but to spread the credit where due.
Mr. Chapelle studies the speed of sailing vessels in a less romantic but more equitable fashion, employing the coefficients and proportions used by modern naval architects in assessing the qualities of a ship. These relationships were known to the clipper ship designers of the mid-19th century; however, the master builders of earlier days worked largely by empirical rules developed and modified through years, actually centuries, of experience. The fast sailing clipper ships were not suddenly “invented” as many would have us believe. The ancient world knew the qualities needed for speed on the water, witness the classic “long” ship for speed versus the “round” ship for cargo capacity.
To establish the state of the American shipbuilder’s art in 1700, Mr. Chapelle begins his book with a description of English design practice in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Readers who are familiar with the legend that all old ships were built from whittled models will find that a large amount of drawing was done in those centuries. In 1638, a drawing was sent out from England for a vessel to be built at Richmond Island, Maine. The use of half models in the process of ship design is discussed in later sections of the book. In this first chapter, one is introduced to the speed-length ratio, speed in knots divided by the square root of the waterline length, an index number by which the speeds of vessels of different sizes may be compared. For a slow cargo ship, say a World War II Liberty ship, the speed-length ratio is about 0.60, for the Queen Elizabeth at 30 knots it is 0.94, while the ratio for a modern destroyer at top speed might be 1.70 or higher; the best of the clip
pers on a day’s run basis had values of N°1'
1.25. ht
In Chapter Two, Mr. Chapelle definesr ’ block, midsection, and prismatic coeffici which are the basic indices of a vessel’s ^ The lower the block and prismatic c°e^{ cients, particularly the latter, the greater speed potential of the form. This reV^e''ft would have preferred three decimal values for these three coefficients, ^

Soviet Naval Strategy

REVIEWED BY
Captain William C. Chapman, U. S. Navy (Retired)
(Captain Chapman, a graduate of the Naval Academy, holds a master’’s degree in international relations and is a doctoral candidate in Russian studies. Before retiring from the Navy in 1966, he was Assistant Naval Attach6 in Moscow, Air Intelligence Officer for the Sixth Fleet Staff, and Head of the Navy Department Speech Bureau. A reviewer of many hooks and author of numerous articles, he wrote the essay “ The Soviet Air Forces” published in the Naval Review 1965).
There exists a super-abundance of studies of Soviet military affairs. Erickson and Garder have covered the historical side adequately, while the military Kremlinologists—Crane, Dinerstein, Garthoff, Kolkowicz, and Wolfe, primarily—have discussed organization, doctrine, and policy to the point that one need not argue too strongly with Bernard Brodie’s observation that “our fund of knowledge and understanding about the Soviet (and Chinese) regimes is undoubtedly far more accurate and obiective than the knowledge they have of us”
Still, until now, there has been an almost total lack of meaningful study of the naval affairs of the Soviet Union. There are no former naval persons in the above list of writers. The most important book on military affairs to come out of the Soviet Union since World War II, the 1962 volume entitled Military Strategy, provoked the wartime Chief of the Main Staff of the Soviet Navy into an extensive commentary and the criticism that it had failed to treat naval matters adequately. It had been written by a collegium of 15 Army officers. The argument of all, American and Soviet, would be that the Russian Navy exists only in the shadow of the Russian Army.
To paraphrase Churchill, some shadow! The Soviet Navy is indeed the second largest in the world. It has in commission, using the authoritative estimates of the Institute of Strategic Studies, more cruisers than the United States, more ballistic missile subma-
Soviet Union. The German Soldat und Technik (December i^uvi offer a measure of confirmation in an ar° on carrier construction in the Soviet IT by Siegfried Breyer. However, if one back to primary sources, both Herrick T Breyer seem to base their story chiefly °n V same evidence, the memoirs of the So' Admiral, N. G. Kuznetsov, an ardent ba' ( for sea power. On Herrick’s side, we do baf, the official State Department record of S0',1 requests for designs, plans, and work1'1 drawings of our carriers that were being c° . structed in the late 1930s; but, studies aC
plans are one thing, and the decision to
if
1939 the Soviet Navy was embarked °n, program for reaching a respectable, bh‘° water capability. This program, of course,
victim to World War II, although the sugfi'j tion is made that American failure to resp0'1 to requests for help with battleship constr1'0 tion also had an effect.
Again, in the late 1940s, Stalin gave
rines, and over three times as many attack submarines. In a primary area of a strategic and diplomatic competition, the Mediterranean Sea, Soviet naval forces have increased in strength by a multiple of ten since 1963, according to The New York Times. During the first six months of 1967, Soviet ship operating days in the Mediterranean were 400 per cent greater than in all of 1963, and their submarine operating days in that sea have, according to our Ambassador to NATO, Harland Cleveland, increased by nearly 2,000 per cent in four years. “Taking the war to sea” was a favorite concept of Paul Nitze when he was Secretary of the Navy. It seems evident that the Soviets are paying him the supreme compliment of emulation by their actions.
But we have had the evidence without any good analysis of what it may mean. Now, Commander Robert W. Herrick, formerly Assistant Naval Attache to Moscow and one of the very few U. S. naval officers who has had the unusual opportunity to go to sea in a Soviet man-of-war, has updated his doctoral dissertation for the Russian Institute of Columbia University and published it as Soviet Naval Strategy. His work is a fine start toward filling the knowledge gap on Soviet naval policy.
Because there is so much to learn from Commander Herrick’s book, naval officers, defense policy planners, and defense analysts must acquaint themselves with it. The author shows an easy way to assimilate almost all that the Soviets have written about their Navy since 1920. He has made a judicious selection from the inevitable masses of gobbledygook that pass for Communist commentary. He further discusses at length questions of Soviet naval history and policy with a defected former Soviet naval officer, whose rank and credentials are sufficiently respectable to give him official audience at the U. S. Naval War College.
It will come as a surprise to many that the Soviet Union—according to Herrick—has twice made the decision to build an aircraft carrier force, in 1939, and again in the early 1950s. There will be those who are skeptical. The evidence offered is no more than the oral or written testimony of Soviet officials, and truth has never been a leading virtue in the
public.*; 1967) “

The Soviet Navy managed from Revolution to 1932 without either a North0 or a Pacific Fleet. Such is the impact of Se°'- raphy on Russian naval power. Herrick eS, f mates that the territorial gains of World I* ^ II have improved the strategic situation 1 the Soviet Navy but little. The four Red remain separated by indefensible distaP0,^ j and, worse, each fleet finds a natural bafPj | between its home port and the unrestrict waters of the great oceans. The North0
Fleet, the freest of the lot, must run the ga*h let of the Greenland-Iceland-Faroes barr* after it rounds the North Cape.

Qitnmander Herrick makes an excellent in warning that the U. S. Navy should lecome a victim of its own efforts to alert 'asically uninterested American public to ofC(feasing Soviet naval strength. As a matter act, Secretary of the Navy Paul R. Igna- Undcrscored this very point in a speech on
March 29th. In beating the drums that Ivan is indeed going to sea, strategists should yet remember that the Soviets have not the fundamental strengths to wrest the trident from the United States unless we give it up.
Herrick’s point is also appropriate that Soviet ballistic missile submarines are probably intended for use against invasion ports and offensive naval concentrations, not as independent deterrents supplementing Marshal Krylov’s Strategic Rocket Forces. Academically speaking, this was correct.
Aboard ihv USS Monitor: 1UH2
The danger of relying on intentions is well known. Since Commander Herrick’s book went to the printers, there is the disquieting— but not unexpected—Department of Defense announcement that “the Soviets now operate (submarine) patrols within missile range of the U. S. shores, and increasing activity indicates a significantly improved Soviet missile submarine operational capability.” (Testimony of Dr. John S. Foster, Jr., Director of Defense Research and Engineering, 15 February 1968, before the Senate Committee on the Armed Forces.) Unless we produce and

Similarly, defying history and perhaps defying original intentions, Soviet amphibious forces can be used, given the lack of a serious challenge to work their way from the Bosporus to Alexandria, to the Gulf of Hamamet, the Pillars of Hercules, and beyond, or toward Hodeida, the Horn of Africa, and the Persian Gulf.
In a prudent and practical view, the danger persists—and even grows—that the Soviets may find themselves with naval capabilities that seem as attractive to them at some point in time as the possibilities that seemingly stretched out before the Japanese Imperial Fleet in 1941. Supported by an expanding merchant marine and patient in the pursuit of goals common both to Marxist-Leninist strategy and traditional Russian expansionism, Soviet naval power is a force for which a deterrent must be maintained in the 1970s.
Whether Soviet sea power is basically defensive or offensive is neither a matter of historical leanings nor indeed of deliberate strategic choices already made by Soviet planners. The critical factor will be the nature of the response to be made by the United States. Disregarding their very natural handicaps, Soviet naval strategists, like good Leninists, are making sure that America has the opportunity to miscalculate or to falter on the seas as elsewhere. We must respect their capabilities, but we should at the same time capitalize on their limitations.

REVIEWED BY
Rear Admiral John D. Hayes, U. S. Navy (Retired)
(Admiral Hayes graduated from the U. S. Naval Academy in 1924 and holds a master’s degree in mechanical engineering. Before retiring in 1954, he served in a variety of ships, with the Third and Seventh Amphibious Force and was Commander Service Squadron One during the Korean War. Admiral Hayes has attended the University of California, U. S. Naval Postgraduate school, the Army and Navy Staff College, The Naval War College, and the Industrial College of the Armed “Sine Qua Non of U. S.

questions the effectiveness of the
i|. n°mic warfare of the United States over a fQ ^ast two decades, warfare which has been tj 'rn of neo-mercantilism similar to the poli- u economics of European powers in the a a and 17th centuries that both historians economists have adversely criticized. The 5 policies that deny economic resources, ^symbolized by the Battle Act, and the i finer in which foreign aid has been dis- Sed have been found wanting. Foreign aid ^ a tool of economic warfare tends to become th'tlCans military and financial extortion in d f Vv°rld where the creditor rather than the tor is the suppliant. Clark advocates both ^eration of trade and with an admitted J^ty and the extension of aid to uncom- L ted countries. The United States would f.c e the decided advantage in this form of ^ttoinie warfare—or, better, economic com- ition—which encourages expanding trade
and economic well-being.
Clark states that history supports the judgment that war “does not correlate with economic progress. . . . The illusion of progress it conveys is merely the accelerated application of the already known for immediate purposes.” But, he quickly points out that peace and war in human history alternate as they do in the human spirit, and war will not be wished away by mere tampering with political institutions. He, therefore, holds that “the strategy which eschews commitment to land warfare will, in the long run, not detract as much from the advancement of material wellbeing.” Obliquely, this is his thesis in “Economics of Sea Power,” which he could hardly propound in this economics textbook. The United States had the potential to apply the economics of sea power only after 1945, since in World War II, the Navy had brought all the oceans under control and merged them into one. Americans did indeed apply it in the Marshall Plan; but, bewitched by nuclear weapons, they renounced their maritime power and its economic potential.
On the other hand, it would seem that the Soviets have at last learned that the sea offers escape from their cruel geography. They also use the sea as the means for reviving the lagging expansion of Communism over the world. The new Soviet vision of the world is that of an economic unit, dependent on mutual exchange of raw materials and processed goods, by seaborne trade. The people who foster and protect that trade can control it and, through it, the world. The British can no longer do this, the Americans have no inclination for the hard task, but the Russians are willing to go down to the sea in ships and do the job.
This is why the first four chapters of this book may soon be meaningless and why the last two may become meaningful. Let us hope that Professor Clark will come out with a relevant new textbook on the economics of sea power.

Prisoners of the Mahdi
Byron Farwell. New York: Harper and Row, 1968. 356 pp. Illus. $6.95.
Without really intending to, the British conquered Egypt in 1882. This set in motion a chain of events leading to the first attempt by an African people to gain forcefully their independence from a colonial power that gave a young lieutenant of the 21st Lancers, Winston Churchill, his first taste of battle. Concerned with the 14 revolt-torn years in the Sudan, this work is based upon the letters and the personal journals of three Europeans who became prisoners of the religious fanatic, the Mahdi or messiah, who led sword-wielding natives in a holy war against the rifles and machine guns of a professional army. This book is a fine complement to the chapter on the reconquest of the Sudan contained in Victorian Military Campaigns published in 1967.
