?The central theme of this tightly argued, well-documented book is
the mutual dependence of navies and shipbuilding industries. A
symbiosis occurs since the technical competence of industry
determines the effectiveness of navies, while navies are the chief
buyers of warships. Strains on the symbiosis have occurred in
recent decades because progressive specialization of warships
renders naval shipbuilding increasingly costly and unsuited for any
other use.?-Choice
