"Allied with ancient Crete and allianced with its sea power, Mycenae was a very successful city-state, so successful as to have developed the additional capability of building ships and going to sea. Its peoples were able to control the line of supply to besiege the walls of Troy. Homer’s epic probably represents the first change in the grand strategy of the world from the power of the almost invincible walls of the great city-states to the power of the line of supply at sea.
"The higher and bigger the walls, the more secure had the human insiders felt themselves to be. Economic mastery of the world affairs by the mobile, more-with-lessing, frail wooden ships of the sea gradually overwhelmed the static state’s security. Their symbol was the six triangle hexagon, for only triangles are stable. Those ancient water people of the world had the stem ends of their ship’s keels curved upwardly to best cope with the waves. The swift changes occurring within my own short life span are undoubtedly related to the swift advancement in the technology of the sea and the sky.
“With the world’s comprehensive disarmament occurring possibly within the next decade, the airspace technologies bid fair”
