自美军推行新军事变革以来,美国海军虽然不像陆军那样成为变革的主要对象,但也脱不了关联。在美军的地区性局部作战成为主要样式的大势所趋下,以“远洋制海”为目标而建设的海军对近海和沿海岸作战表现出极大的不适应,1991年的海湾战争就曾对其优势地位带来巨大冲击,使其发展一度陷入谷底。新军事变革开始后,美国海军不甘心自己沦为空军附属的地位,加大军事变革力度,着力提高自己适应信息化战争的需求,意图成为新军事变革的“新潮一族”。 Since the implementation of the new military revolution by the U.S. military, the U.S. Navy has not become the main target of change as the Army did, but it can not be unrelated. Under the prevailing trend of the regional operations of the U.S. armed forces becoming the main style, the navy built on the objective of “ocean-going sea” showed great incompatibility with operations on offshore and coastal areas. The Gulf War in 1991 once gave its advantages Status has brought a huge impact, so that its development was trough. After the start of the new military revolution, the U.S. Navy, unwilling to be reduced to a subsidiary of the Air Force, intensified its efforts to reform the military and made every effort to improve itself to meet the needs of the information war, aiming to become a “trendy clan” of the new military revolution.
