Alfred T. Mahan was a U.S. Navy Leader. Aka Admiral. Alfred led the government to build up and American Naval to compete with other powerful nations in the seas.  For the result of Alfred leading the US, the United States built nine steel hulled cruiser thingys between 1883 and 1890.  Alfred led the US to build modern battleships such as the Main and the Oregon transformed our country into the worlds third largest Naval power. I think that Alfred is important in our history or else we wouldnt have our navy right now and we would loose so many wars out at sea.  If he wouldnt have urged us to  make a Naval union we wouldnt be able send our air force in the air.
