This thesis examines the evolution, and theoretical basis of the United States' maritime strategy in the North Atlantic and what is referred to as NATO's Northern Flank. The strategy associated with past Secretary of the Navy, John Lehman, is no longer considered applicable in the context of today's East-west relationship and is in need of reassessment. The paper then assesses the current, post
Cold War situation and looks at future security interests
the United States may have in the region. Additionally, the
security and defense capabilities of our allies in the
region are examined. Given the United States will remain
closely linked with European security issues, by examining
the successes and failures of past strategies and the
strengths and weaknesses of our allies, one will be better
able to develop a new strategy.
