ABSTRACT
A parallel investigation dealt with the relative importance of the naval or oceanic theaters and served to cross check the evidence developed on the ability to influence war or armed struggle and thus achieve victory. Literature cross check had to do with the ability of the fleet to achieve “strategic goals” which by the Soviet own definition, can achieve the aims of war. “Strategic missions” were also investigated to further cross check the ability of the fleet to influence wars or armed struggle. By completing the specific avenues of investigation, it was possible to identify the types of forces and general means for the Soviet Union to attain victory and influence the course or outcome of armed conflict and war. Victory in warfare is one of the easiest themes to trace in the Soviet literature consulted since it appears that a “canned” phrase is used to describe the concept.
