Royal Australian Navy Maritime Studies Program In 1990 the Royal Australian Navy established the Maritime Studies Program (MSP) to undertake activities which would promote the study, discussion and awareness of maritime issues and strategy within the RAN and the defence and civil communities at large. The aims of the MSP are: to promote the awareness among members of the RAN and wider Defence community of maritime strategy, maritime issues and the role maritime forces play in the security of national interests; and to contribute to the development of public awareness of the need for sea power in the defence of Australia and her sovereign interests. Comment on this Working Paper or any inquiry related to the activities of the Maritime Studies Program should be directed to: Director General Maritime Studies Program HMAS CRESWELL JERVIS BAY 2540 Australia
