Once seen as romanticized warriors who wielded their power with little regard for the consequences, naval commanders by the turn of the century were increasingly viewed as peacekeepers bound by law and morality. The author traces this transformation, analyzing how international diplomacy and changing societal attitudes toward warfare influenced the role of naval forces. Drawing on historical examples and the insights of military leaders like Frederick of Germany, the book argues that while armed conflict remains a grim possibility, the primary duty of naval commanders in the present day is to prevent war, not to fight it. Ultimately, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the evolution of naval warfare, highlighting the growing importance of diplomacy and restraint in international relations.
