0:51Now PlayingExplore the "Fleet in Being" naval strategy! ⚓ Coined by Admiral Lord Torrington in 1690, this doctrine keeps a fleet safely in port, yet its mere potential presence deters enemies. Torrington's outnumbered English fleet avoided decisive engagement during the 9 Years' War, buying time to rebuild! It relies on deterrence & preserving strength, creating operational challenges for adversaries. A key sea denial tactic until WW2 battles like Taranto and Pearl Harbor. #FleetInBeing #NavalStrategy #HistoryShorts #Craig #NavalWarfare #AdmiralTorrington #9YearsWar #Deterrence #MilitaryStrategy #SeaDenial #NavalHistory #WW2Naval #PearlHarbor #Taranto #NavalTactics
