Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study deals with the origins of the U.S. 6th Fleet and its role in the Mediterranean region in the aftermath of World War II. The research is based on two great themes. First the postwar American strategists and foreign policymakers reacted to hostile moves by the Soviets with great hesitancy since they lacked sufficient force to uphold a policy of greater stiffness. The second theme is the enduring utility of naval power, and its richness and flexibility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic theme of this essay is the increased Soviet naval presence in the Mediterranean Sea. Traditional Soviet interests in the Mediterranean and the Middle East are enumerated. The evolution of increasing Soviet naval presence is traced from World War II to the present. The composition of the Soviet squadron, Escadra, is outlined and the implications of its structure and capabilities discussed. The present Soviet naval presence in the Mediterranean is a security motivated response to Western alliances and the dominance of the US Sixth Fleet on the Mediterranean. Russia's long range quest is for strategic mobility and a role as a major sea power. (Author).

This book was released on 1992 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of the Cold War naval arms control was the forgotten dimension of arms control. Beginning in the late 1980s, however, it has become increasingly prominent in the East-West dialogue. But it is usually studied from the perspective of Soviet-American relations. This book examines the subject from a European perspective. What role might naval arms control play in the European context? What impact might naval arms control have on the interests and perceptions of European states? What opportunities for and obstacles to naval arms control exist in Europe? The authors address these questions, describing the naval interests and attitudes towards naval arms control of European coastal states, as well as the Soviet Union and the United States, in the Norwegian, Baltic, and Mediterranean seas.
Download or read book The Soviet Presence in the Mediterranean written by Gordon H. McCormick and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Soviet navy's first extended deployment to the Mediterranean took place in 1958, in the aftermath of the U.S. intervention in Lebanon. Since that time, the Soviet Mediterranean Squadron has served as either a participant or close observer in every major crisis or conflict in the area and has become the primary symbol of the Soviet Union's regional presence. Soviet naval forces have played a key role in promoting local Soviet interests, and the cultivation of regional ties has provided the navy with the access needed to maintain a standing presence in the Mediterranean, far from its base of support. This paper, prepared for the 29th Annual Conference of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Barcelona, Spain, September 10-13, 1987, provides an overview of the history and current status of the Soviet naval presence in the Mediterranean. The author focuses on the local constraints facing Soviet planning, the style of Soviet Mediterranean operations, and the close relationship between Soviet naval access and political presence."--Rand abstracts.

Book excerpt: This report discusses the June War as a turning point in Soviet deployments to the Mediterranean. The USSR doubled its force during the crisis period and force levels have continued to rise ever since. Furthermore as a direct result of the war the Russians were able to gain access to both Alexandria and Port Said, which had hitherto been denied them on the scale and for the periods which they had desired. Such was the rate of Soviet increase that by the October War in 1973 the United States Sixth Fleet was outnumbered by Soviet units. Unlike in 1967 the Soviets were able to deploy amphibious ships in large numbers and also used anti-carrier tactics. Although Soviet activity was still marginal compared with its later efforts the 1967 war is important because the Soviets were observed attempting to use Naval power in ways which would have been impossible a decade earlier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATO's southern flank has been exposed to a wide range of threats and challenges from Middle Eastern and North African instability, including terrorism, illegal trafficking, and mass migration. Against this backdrop, since 2008, Russia has increased its Mediterranean naval activity to levels not observed since the Cold War. This study investigates the extent to which the perceptions and policies of France, Italy, and Spain have shifted in response to Russia's expanded Mediterranean presence. Although its naval presence was once considered a low-priority threat, Russia's recent behavior has led to some significant changes in the perceptions and security policies of these Allies. Greater attention to this Mediterranean naval challenge has been consistent with the intensification of Russian military aggression, and these Allies increasingly share Alliance concerns about Russia's conventional military threat. However, immediate nontraditional security issues remain a more urgent priority, a circumstance that limits the extent to which these Allies are willing to regard Russia's naval presence as a threat. While both unilateral and multilateral initiatives have been steps toward improving security and stability in the Mediterranean, these Allies continue to seek the right set of measures needed to address this dynamic environment.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.I.

ConclusionGiven the January 2017 Russian-Syrian agreement to grant Russia a 49-year lease for access to the Tartus Naval Base and Russia's evident intention to maintain a permanent naval presence in the eastern Mediterranean, what are the perceptions and policies of France, Italy, and Spain on this increased presence? What policy conclusions have they drawn? This study identifies changes in officially articulated perceptions and policies in these countries since 2008 and strives to distinguish developments attributable not only to Russia, but also to other factors in the Mediterranean region, including terrorism, failed states, religious fanaticism, illegal trafficking, organized crime, and migrant and refugee flows. Additionally, this study analyzes the extent to which Mediterranean security cooperation initiatives assist France, Italy, and Spain in the management of security priorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Turkish Straits and the Montreux Convention, which once served primarily to protect the Soviet Union from superior hostile fleets, now also limit what would otherwise be a major Soviet advantage: proximity of a large fleet and its bases to a major theater of crisis and potential war. In this respect the Montreux Convention has been a problem for the Soviets since 1964, when they began maintaining a permanent naval presence in the Mediterranean. The objective of this article is to examine how the Soviets have designed their patterns of operations in the Mediterranean in order to overcome the barriers of the treaty and the Turkish and Balkan land masses, and to what extent limitations remain on the flexibility of Soviet naval forces in the Mediterranean that can still be exploited by the West.

Since World War II, the Navy has been the first line of defense for these interests.
