Doctrine: Initiative

"A ship at sea is its own world. To be the captain of a ship is to be the unquestioned ruler of that world and requires all of the leadership skills of a prince or minister."

- Col. Corazon Santiago, "Leadership and the Sea"

Doctrine: Initiative is a Explore technology in Alpha Centauri.

Background
The slow moving foils and transports developed under Doctrine: Flexibility (E2) provided an adequate early naval force. However, materials and manufacturing advances resulting from Industrial Automation (B3) make possible new classes of powerful ships developed as part of Doctrine: Initiative, which stresses the importance of global naval superiority.
