This article asserts that Australia is making the mistake of focusing on ships and planes, when the age of large crewed warships is ending. And, that the sea can now be controlled from the land.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Consider how analysts can help us re-consider our current thinking on security, by providing a different perspective.
  • Explore the proposition that the age of large, un-crewed ships and submarines might be coming to an end.  
  • Understand the term ‘strategic defensive’ which can refer to the state denying an aggressor the ability to achieve their objectives, without necessarily defeating them.
