A group research study paper by Commander Jerome R. Dunn, USN; Lieutenant Commander Robert C. Loomis, Jr., USN; Lieutenant Commander Robert B. Pemberton, USN; and Lieutenant Commander Ervine E. White, USN. This paper studied the potential requirement for continuing naval warfare activity on international waterways; U.S. security interests, commitments, general force planning and military assistance policy trends relating to areas of high susceptibility to insurgency on internal waterways; an historical assessment of U.S. and contemporary experiences in internal water warfare; and presented U.S. programs and policies for internal water naval operations and recommendations for improvements to the programs.

Lecture given by Dr. Nicholas Shadrin, a former Soviet navy commander, to NWC students in the School of Naval Command and Staff about Soviet naval strategy and intentions from his point of view. The second part of this lecture is comprised of a question and answer session with between Shadrin and NWC students. (It may be difficult to hear the questions from the student audience.)
