The article discusses possible changes the U.S. Navy could implement in order to operate more efficiently at the beginning of the 21st century. The author uses the joint Navy/Marine Corps/Coast Guard document "A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower" (CS-21) as the basis for his study. Emphasis is given to past developments in naval power, with a strong focus on the implementation of the Dreadnought battleship by the British Royal Navy at the turn of the 20th century. The author details the naval changes for the Royal Navy promoted by Admiral Sir John Fisher, and analyzes their applicability to the U.S. Navy in the 21st century.
