Australian Maritime Doctrine	Australian Maritime Doctrine is the Royal Australian Navy's capstone work of doctrine.

Australian Maritime Doctrine brings together in an Australian context the key concepts and themes of sea power and explains them in a clear and straightforward fashion. This book lays out the ways in which the Navy operates as part of a joint and integrated ADF to accomplish the maritime security goals set by the Australian Government.
