Mahan was considered as one of the giants of the naval military. His books focuses on highest levels of governing classes. It simply talks about the rise and relationships of state power to the world. Mahan even constructed the thought of "Navalism" which tackles on advancing state power through the maintenance and construction of the powerful navy.

In order to extend its power, the U.S. would need overseas naval bases for refueling and resupplying. Mahan believed the country who ruled the seas could rule the world. These naval bases around the world could help the U.S. Navy also protect some of its foreign economic markets too.
