Могу ошибаться, но мне показалось, что статья призывает вернуться к Мэхэну
Как виделась ситуация в 1954 г.:
Since the American navy now possesses command of the sea, however, and since the Soviet surface navy is in no position to challenge this except in struggles for local supremacy in the Baltic and Black Seas, the Navy can no longer accept this Mahanite definition of its mission. Its purpose now is not to acquire command of the sea but rather to utilize its command of the sea to achieve supremacy on the land. More specifically, it is to apply naval power to that decisive strip of littoral encircling the Eurasian continent. This means a real revolution in naval thought and operations. For decades the eyes of the Navy have been turned outward to the ocean and the blue water; now the Navy must reverse itself and look inland where its new objectives lie.
А вот в ближайшем будущем, с появлением в "blue water" китайского флота, надо возвращаться к прежней миссии "to acquire command of the sea".
