"Aircraft Carrier Requirements And Strategy 1977-2001", from the Department of the Navy, Naval History and Heritage, offers an interesting historical documentation of how the aircraft carrier became the primary war machine on the high seas.
To anyone with an interest in Naval history or the decision process how the Department of the Navy establishes the need and use of massive instruments of war such as an aircraft carrier, this resource provides a comprehensive insight into the period of greatest change in the carrier force.
It examines the process by which the Navy, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Joint Staff, Congress, and presidential administrations determined how many aircraft carriers the Navy needed, how to pay for and build those carriers, and what to do with those vessels once they were in service.
