Center for Maritime Strategy
The Center for Maritime Strategy is America’s intellectual center for the study of the relationship between maritime power and national power, policy research that strengthens that relationship, and advocacy and education to advance those policies.
The think tank, housed inside the Navy League of the United States, conducts and supports policy research and advocacy efforts across a broad spectrum of issues that impact the United States’ position as a maritime nation. The mission of the Center for Maritime Strategy is to advance understanding of the contributions of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and U.S.-flag Merchant Marine to American security and prosperity and educate and engage congressional and executive branch officials on the insights and recommendations derived from that research.
