Episode Notes:

In his recent article "A Sea Control Revolution?", Richard Dunley argued that the value of the seas is changing as countries seek to exploit underwater resources, protect maritime infrastructure, and expand sovereignty beyond the land. Kerry talks with Richard about how those changes are increasing the demands on navies and reshaping the concept of sea control.
