“For in war…the common sense of some and the genius of others sees and properly applies means to ends, and naval strategy, like naval tactics, when boiled down, is simply the proper use of means to attain the ends. But in peace, as in idleness, such matters drop out mind, unless systematic provision is made keeping them in view” – ALFRED THAYER MAHAN
