“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.”
Sun Tzu
5th century BCE
"The history of sea power is largely, though by no means solely, a narrative of contests between nations, of mutual rivalries, of violence frequently culminating in war.''
Alfred Thayer Mahan
The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1890
"We must have the ability to transport our goods in our own ships. We cannot afford to have our supply lines controlled by others, particularly by those who may become our enemies."
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Congressional Address, January 6, 1941
“In building ships, don't overlook the fact that an emotional patriotism is guiding these men. But there is, along with it, the pride of achievement, which is, I should think, also emotional.”
Henry J. Kaiser
Richmond Shipyard, 1943
