Features: The 21st century will be the century of the ocean. Facing the call of the oceanic century, the desire for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has never been stronger than today, and the connection with the ocean has never been closer. Engels once said that maritime affairs are fundamentally incompatible with feudalism. Sun Yat-sen, a pioneer of the democratic revolution, pointed out that with the changes in global trends, the strength or weakness of a nation often lies at sea rather than on land. Those who dominate on land often hold the upper hand in national strength. The ocean not only records a long history but also creates unique culture. With the footsteps of the new oceanic century, we have organized numerous experts and scholars, spent three years, and compiled and published this large series of books. The content includes both maritime military knowledge and maritime political and economic knowledge; both introductions to maritime geography and interesting stories about maritime exploration, myths, and legends; both the history and future of the ocean and the current status and development of the world's navies. We believe that the publication of this series will play a positive role in promoting the development of China's maritime culture, enhancing the national maritime awareness and coastal defense awareness, and inspiring a broad range of naval officers and young people to dedicate themselves to the great cause of loving, building, and defending the ocean.
