Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During 1972-73 the monthly journal of the Soviet Navy published a series of 11 articles by its Commander-in-Chief, Fleet Admiral S.G. Gorshkov. Western analysts are unable agree either on the content of the articles or on the question of whether Gorshkov was lobbying or speaking authoritatively. The author takes the position that Gorshkov is probably speaking authoritatively, and that this work represents, what the Soviets refer to as a 'concrete expression of doctrine, ' i.e., a work rationalizing particular tenets of military doctrine that apply to the Navy. He believes the content of the Gorshkov series reflects a Soviet political decision to withhold a substantial portion of their submarine-launched ballistic missiles from the initial strikes in order to carry out deterrence in war, conduct intra-war bargaining and influence the peace talks at the end of the war. This is essentially what the Russians call a military-political task in the national defense system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Sergei G. Gorshkov was the product of a tradition unlike those of his Western contemporaries. He had a unique background of revolution, civil war, world wars, and the forceful implementation of an all-controlling communist dictatorship. Out of this background of violence and overwhelming transformation came a man with a vivid appreciation of the role and value of navies, but with his own unique ideas about the kind of navy that the Soviet Union required and the role that navy should play in Soviet military and national strategy. Western naval observers have persisted in attempting to define Admiral Gorshkov in Western naval terms. Many of these observers have been baffled when they found that the man and his actions simply did not fit conventional narratives. This book lays out the tradition, background, experiences, and thinking of the man as they relate to the development of the Soviet Navy that Gorshkov commanded for almost three decades and that was able to directly challenge the maritime dominance of the United States—a traditional sea power. His influence persists to this day, as the Russian Navy that is at sea in the twenty-first century is, to a significant degree, based on the fleet that Admiral Gorshkov built.

Book excerpt: This paper is an attempt to evaluate the debate between two Western analysts of the Soviet Navy. The material in question is Soviet military literature, and the focus is on Admiral Sergei G. Gorshkov. Our two scholarly protagonists are James M. McConnell and Michael K. MccGwire. There are two major questions. First, was Gorshkov speaking authoritatively in his celebrated series Navies in War and Peace? Second, what was he saying? Was he elaborating a novel strategy of withholding SSBN? Alternatively, was the Gorshkov series a polemic for an expansion of the Soviet Navy along more traditional lines, with defense against Western naval strike forces as a principal mission? In this essay, I focus primarily on the second of these questions.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gorshkov referred to is Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Sergey Gorshkov, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy. The debate among Western Analysts, now over three years old, is about a series of articles which he published, under the title of 'Navies in War and Peace, ' in his Navy's monthly journal, The Naval Digest, over the course of 1972-73. It was originally intended in this paper to present a summary of 'the state of the debate; dealing with the arguments of all the participants. This plan was changed by the publication, in February of this year, of a book by Gorshkov, entitled The Sea Power of the State. The theme is the same as the series, and much of the data is only repetition, but here and there a point that is only adumbrated in the series (e.g., command of the sea) is expanded into an entire section, and even when the book only supplements the series, it often firms up what could previously only be inferred. There are two questions that have been central to the debate from the very beginning: the question of the authoritativeness of the Gorshkov series--is he advocating or announcing--and the question of its content.

Download or read book Stalin s Ocean going Fleet Soviet written by Jurgen Rohwer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, two senior naval historians analyze the discussions held in leading Soviet political, military, and naval circles concerning naval strategy and the decisions taken for warship-building programmes. They describe the reconstitution of the fleet under difficult conditions from the end of the Civil War up to the mid-1920s, leading to a change from classical naval strategy to a Jeune ecole model in the first two Five-Year Plans, including efforts to obtain foreign assistance in the design of warships and submarines. Their aim is to explain the reasons for the sudden change in 1935 to begin building a big ocean-going fleet. After a period of co-operation with Germany from 1939-41, the plans came to a halt when Hitler attacked the Soviet Union in 1941. Finally, this work covers the reopening of the naval planning processes in 1944 and 1945 and the discussions of the naval leadership with Stalin, the party and government officials about the direction of the new building programmes as the Cold War began.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on formal content analysis of the writings of Admiral Sergei G. Gorshkov and past Soviet ministers of defense and heads of the Politburo, James J. Tritten interprets what the Soviets say they will do in the event of nuclear war. He then constructs a hardware and exercise analysis of the strategic employment of the Soviet Navy in a nuclear war, offering three possible cases–the a bolt from the blue, with existing forces on patrol; full mobilization; and a plausible case of partial mobilization. In addition, Dr. Tritten examines, from a Soviet perspective, concepts of deterrence, the strategic goals and missions of the fleet, nuclear targeting policy, the Sea Lines of Communication (SLOC) disruption mission, and the potential for tactical nuclear warfare limited to the sea. The author concludes by assessing the implications of Soviet politico-military planning for Western defense strategy and arms control.
