Read the chapter titled "Theory of the Object -- Command of the Sea" during first week of War at Sea During the Age of Steam class at the NWC. Foundational reading for better understanding throughout this elective. Helpful to get started in the class, otherwise not very interesting topic to me.

Read pages 3-106 during the discussion on the Russo-Japanese War as part of the S&W syllabus at CNCS in Sept 2023.

From the syllabus: Corbett shows how a state can deploy its navy to achieve strategic objectives against a land power. He emphasizes the utility of joint and peripheral operations, and offers his theory of command of the sea.
