Despite being a maritime nation, the all-encompassing role that the sea and maritime power has played and will play in the development of Australia and its safety and security is generally not well understood. This publication series is designed to help rectify this.
The first (inaugural) issue highlights the charter of the Sea Power Centre and the work that has been undertaken in the past, and therefore some of the significant achievements of past directors, as well as drawing attention to future events and activities of the current staff.
