Our Cover: Autumn 1998

In the forty years of memorabilia in the "wardroom" of the Naval War College's Naval Command College, this painting, by Nordhausen, has pride of place: Admiral Arleigh Burke founded that highly successful program, for purposes he was to recall in a Naval War College address reprinted in this issue. He also played a major role in the founding of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force; the fruits of that labor, almost a half-century later, are to be seen in our lead article, by Captain Katsutoshi Kawano, JMSDF.
