If commercial sea power was not the power meant by Mahan, then he must have meant naval power.
The nurse had started back in alarm at the collie's angry demonstration. Now, gathering up her work, she retreated into the church. "I'm sorry, Miss!" Mahan shouted after her. "I never saw him that way, before, when a lady spoke to him. If it was any dog but old Bruce, I'd give him a whaling for acting like that to you. I'm dead-sure he didn't mean any harm."
With a few masterly touches Mahan, in his brief allusion to the second Punic war, has illustrated its importance in the struggle between Rome and Carthage. What has to be shown is that the principles which he has laid down in that case, and in cases much more modern, are true and have been true always and everywhere.
And keep saying to yourself: 'The bullet ain't molded that can get ME! Mean it when you say it. When you've learned those few things, the rest of the war-game is dead easy." "Except," timidly amended old Sergeant Vivier, the gray little Frenchman, "except when eyes are are what you call it, no use." "That's right," assented Mahan.

We found the people of Long Pelaban camped on a stony beach in two long rows of rough shelters, each row containing many families under one common roof of bark. The Long Mahan people had gone farther and camped on a similar beach, and between the two I discovered a pleasant location in the jungle by ascending the high bank of the river.
The high antiquity of decisive naval campaigns is amongst the most interesting features of international conflicts. Notwithstanding the much greater frequency of land wars, the course of history has been profoundly changed more often by contests on the water. That this has not received the notice it deserved is true, and Mahan tells us why.
Nevertheless both sides used the sea for the transport of troops and the conveying of intelligence, and neither side made any determined effort to establish a real control of the sea.
