The ever developing technology made the theorists to reconsider the views of sea power and of how to achieve naval supremacy. One of the leading theorists in this field was the American A. T. Mahan, well-known to the English audience, but much less widely known among Hungarian readers. For decades, his views about sea power dominated the strategic considerations of naval and political circles and had a great effect on the thriving navalism. Through studying the history of European nations, he composed some principles that can be applied to naval strategy regardless of the technological changes, like the role of a navy, the importance of sea cmmunications and trade routes. Each great power tried to develope its own use of these, according to their strategic positions. Though the mahanian theory opposes the division of fleets, it was difficult to apply for large empires like Britain and the USA. First Sea Lord of the Royal Navy, John Fisher offered an alternative emphasizing new technologies, the submarine and the battlecruiser. Finally, the experiences came from the Great War, most importantly the inability to bring about a decisive battle at seas and the small units gaining more weight in fleet operations has led to a reconsideration of the focus on battleships, which thereby lead to changes in the doctrines – although, this change did not reach an end until the last years of the Second World War.
