The sheer existence and potential threat of the fleet is enough to alter enemy operations and policy, acting as a deterrent and limiting the enemy's offensive capabilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeterrence and Denial\u003c\/i\u003e includes eighteen case studies, ranging from the late seventeenth century to the present that showcase the operational and strategic effectiveness of a fleet in being. Highlighted is the deterrent value of navies-what a fleet in being prevents from occurring in peacetime-as well as what it denies enemies in wartime. Each chapter is written by a prominent historian who explores the concept of fleet in being in historical and geographic contexts to demonstrate what the strategy has accomplished.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924603093150,"sku":"ING-9781682478868","price":70.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781682478868.jpg?v=1782951363","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781682478868","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
