Abstract

Classic seapower theory faces a new test as maritime operations depend on the cyber domain. In this context, Francesco Ferazza and Konstantinos Mersinas argue that classical seapower principles persist. They analyse doctrine, practice and recent incidents to demonstrate adaptation in the maritime domain; that the command of the sea now includes the information domain.
