The series of articles entitled 'Navies in War and Peace' by Soviet navy Commander-in-Chief, Admiral of the Fleet Sergey Gorshkov, are summarized and analyzed by three analysts of the Soviet navy. Their analyses cover several aspects of the Gorshkov articles: the possibility that they reveal an internal debate over Soviet naval missions and budgets, their implications for the future course of Soviet naval construction, and their meaning for the use of Soviet naval forces in wartime and peacetime.
The author describes the publication and summarizes the arguments advanced by Admiral Gorshkov. Then the author examines potential links between Admiral Gorshkov's statement and the domestic and international contexts in which it appeared. Finally, the author presents some of his summary conclusions on the meaning and import of 'Navies in War and Peace.'
This paper is an attempt to evaluate the debate between two Western analysts of the Soviet Navy. The material in question is Soviet military literature, and the focus is on Admiral Sergei G. Gorshkov. Our two scholarly protagonists are James M. McConnell and Michael K. MccGwire. There are two major questions. First, was Gorshkov speaking authoritatively in his celebrated series Navies in War and Peace? Second, what was he saying? Was he elaborating a novel strategy of withholding SSBN? Alternatively, was the Gorshkov series a polemic for an expansion of the Soviet Navy along more traditional lines, with defense against Western naval strike forces as a principal mission? In this essay, I focus primarily on the second of these questions.
Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Sergei G. Gorshkov was the product of a tradition unlike those of his Western contemporaries. He had a unique background of revolution, civil war, world wars, and the forceful implementation of an all-controlling communist dictatorship. Out of this background of violence and overwhelming transformation came a man with a vivid appreciation of the role and value of navies, but with his own unique ideas about the kind of navy that the Soviet Union required and the role that navy should play in Soviet military and national strategy. Western naval observers have persisted in attempting to define Admiral Gorshkov in Western naval terms. Many of these observers have been baffled when they found that the man and his actions simply did not fit conventional narratives. This book lays out the tradition, background, experiences, and thinking of the man as they relate to the development of the Soviet Navy that Gorshkov commanded for almost three decades and that was able to directly challenge the maritime dominance of the United States—a traditional sea power. His influence persists to this day, as the Russian Navy that is at sea in the twenty-first century is, to a significant degree, based on the fleet that Admiral Gorshkov built.
