About the author

Founded in 1884 in Newport, Rhode Island, the U.S. Naval War College is the United States Navy’s staff college and the oldest institution of its kind. It was established through the vision of Rear Admiral Stephen B. Luce, who argued that naval officers needed serious study of war, strategy, and statecraft in addition to experience at sea.

Over time, the college became a major center for professional military education and strategic research. Its mission includes educating and developing leaders, supporting combat readiness, strengthening global maritime partnerships, and contributing original work on naval and national security issues.

The college is especially known for linking practical service experience with long-range strategic thinking. For listeners interested in military history, international affairs, or the evolution of American sea power, its story offers a window into how naval ideas are studied, debated, and passed on.
