The Greatest Naval War is about naval warfare during World War II. Its narrative will follow the conflict’s greatest naval engagements, and it will focus on recurrent themes like technology innovations, command and control, logistics, and intelligence. However, the book’s overriding theme is the practice of sea power—not in a one size fits all, formulaic sort of way—but as practiced by all nations with a port and a beach, big or small, as best fitted their own national imperatives. The book will demonstrate that sea power is not a matter of flight decks and big guns, but a combination of many elements, and that it is not the exclusive purview of big navies.

The German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen was a remarkable vessel by any standard and was arguably one of the most handsome major warships ever constructed.
