On the Front Cover

The surface-to-air guided missile, shown here being fired by a nuclear-powered cruiser, is an accepted part of today's Navy, but it is a relatively new weapon. The world's first guided missile cruiser Boston (CAG-1) went into commission 25 years ago last month. For the origin of these weapons, see "The Birth of Guided Missiles," starting on page 54.

Articles

• Degrees of Naval Warfare
  By Captain L. Dale Smith, USN (Rd.)
  There are two reasons why we should disrupt the Navy's presently "pretty good" educational system: retention and professionalism.
• Maneuver in Naval Warfare
  By Commander Linton Wells II. USN
  Maneuver warfare at sea lets us probe our enemy's weaknesses and exploit traditional U. S. strengths such as innovation under pressure.
• The War Powers Resolution
  By 1st Lieutenant Kevin E. Johns. USMC
  Congress didn't like being left out of the vital war and peace decisions; Presidents Ford and Carter have not totally succeeded in cutting them in.
• The AVF—Making It Work
  By Major David Evans, USMC
  The Administration and Congress can and must do a better job of marshaling public support and understanding for the AVF.
• The Birth of Guided Missiles
  By Rear Admiral Delmar S. Fahrney. USN (Ret. )
  The Germans developed the world's first guided missiles. Right? Wrong! We designed, and tested them two years before Germany.
• Fish Stories
  By Ensign Christopher A. Abel. USCG
  Coast Guardsmen, enforcing the 200-mile limit, are finding that the
  fishermen's records, like their stories, are not always to be believed.
• Pictorial—The Quest for Ancient Gold
