This issue of the Journal of Advanced Military Studies addresses great power competition on the world’s oceans, not limited to the North Atlantic, Arctic Ocean, the South China Sea, and other contested littoral and oceanic gray zone conflicts. Authors were encouraged to explore this concept from a variety of perspectives—both from allies’ perspectives of the issues they face, the U.S. perspective, the impact of climate change on these conflicts, or even discussions of adversaries’ strategies in issues of strategic importance to the United States and its allies and what can be done to stay competitive in the littorals and gray zones of oceanic great-power conflict in the near and not-too-distant future. Collectively, these articles begin to address some of the concepts above while, at the same time, prompting new questions to consider and arguments to debate.
Serving as guest editor, Admiral James G. Foggo, U.S. Navy (ret.), introduces the Issue by contextualizing his own service in the United States Navy as part of wider competition with peer and near peer adversaries. Weaving the Issue’s ten articles together, Admiral Foggo reflects upon the nature of great power competition at sea and its implications for the twenty-first century.
