Naval Professionalization

naval_professionalism

Until the beginning of the 17th century, permanent navies were quite small, and even notable martitime powers mostly maintained only enough of a naval force to meet their immediate needs. Over time, however, many states have started moving in the direction of establishing larger professional navies. Unless we want to see our rivals overtake us in naval matters, we must strive to create a larger permanent navy with the proper administrative structures to support it. We should also ensure that a naval career can be a lifelong occupation for our officers.
