I am counting on one of you to remember this because I cannot. Remember at the start of Harpoon ANW when there would be a screen with famous quotes? There
was one about the real objective of naval combat is on the land. To me it was a great quote about keeping your eye on what the real objective is but I'll be darned if
I can remember the exact quote or who said it.

Help me former 'pooners, you're my only hope.

"The Seat of Purpose is on the Land."
Capt Wayne P. Hughes, USN (Ret'd)

Sounds like something Julian Corbett would have written.

Sir Julian understood machine-age naval warfare far better than the more famous Alfred Thayer Mahan, in my opinion.

I concur. Mahan got proven quite wrong, while Corbett's ideas still are applicable.
