Ok, so it's not American Naval History, but this episode is too interesting not to post. With Professor Bret Devereaux I discuss the essentially non-Mahanian nature of ancient naval warfare. Because galleys were both cheap to build (but expensive to maintain) and had very limited operational endurance, the missions they could perform and the strategic use of galley navies was extremely different than Age of Sail and modern navies. For anyone used to thinking about naval power in the modern era this is going to be a paradigm shifting discussion! Note: This is the short version of this episode which cuts out about 20 minutes of interesting side discussions. If you want to listen to a version with a few interesting tangents, check out the long version of this episode, it should be in your podcast feed immediately after this episode.

CDR Benjamin "BJ" Armstrong is a Permanent Military Professor in the Naval Academy History Department, and was selected for promotion to Captain this summer.  He teaches classes on American Naval History, Naval Strategy & Thought, and the department's Capstone Research Seminar.  He is the author or editor of 5 books, including Small Boats and Daring Men, which is discussed in this podcast.(Producer's note: Our host erroneously addresses Commander Armstrong as "Captain" during the introduction. At the time of recording, this is inaccurate. While it is true that Commander Armstrong was selected for promotion, he does not officially attain that rank until Summer 2023. We apologize for any confusion caused by our oversight.)Follow us on Instagram and Twitter: @usnahistoryFor more information about NAHP and the Naval Academy's History Department, please visit https://usna.edu/History/NAHP/

Alfred Thayer Mahan and William Sims – two of the most important figures in American Naval History – are the subject of our discussion with Lieutenant Commander Benjamin (“BJ”) Armstrong. A doctoral candidate in the Department of War Studies at Kings College London, Armstrong is the author of two books collecting and analyzing critical essays by both men: Twenty-First-Century Mahan: Sound Military Conclusions for the Modern Era (Naval Institute Press, 2013) and Twenty-First-Century Sims: Innovation, Education, and Leadership in the Modern Era (Naval Institute Press, 2015). We’re covering both books together in this interview, as they are so closely tied to each other conceptually and thematically, as well as being so recently published and available to the general public. Through the collected essays and his commentary, Armstrong makes a strong case for both the continued relevance and timelessness of the two men and their lesser known or understood works, not only as related to the operations of the United States Navy in the present day, but as touchstones for national security and international relations. A disclaimer, though: the thoughts that Lieutenant Commander Armstrong expresses in this interview are his own, and do not in any way reflect the policies or opinions of the Defense Department or the United States Navy.
