Learning War and The Evolution of U.S. Navy Fighting Doctrine with Author Trent Hone
July 23, 2018
By Christopher Nelson
Author Trent Hone joins us today to talk about his new book Learning War: The Evolution of Fighting Doctrine in the U.S. Navy, 1898-1945. This is a great book. And as others have noted, it’s a fine compliment to John Kuehn’s work on the Navy General Staff, Scott Mobley’s book Progressives in Navy Blue, and I would add, Albert Nofi’s To Train The Fleet For War: The U.S. Navy Fleet Problems, 1923-1940.
We talk about everything from Admiral Frank “Friday†Fletcher to “safe-to-fail†systems vs. “fail-safe†systems. And stick around to the end. Trent Hone offers some advice to the CNO on how we can build a better learning organization.
