Mahan and Corbett begin from different strategic positions

Is it accurate to call American cruiser strategy Mahanian and British strategy Corbettian?

Only as a simplification: Mahan also expects economic warfare after victory, while Corbett writes from a British position that already possesses worldwide bases and command of the sea.

Mahan cannot be reduced to fleet battle or Corbett to commerce warfare. Mahan acknowledges the need for economic pressure, but the United States first has to defeat the enemy and obtain bases from which to impose it. Corbett writes from a British strategic position shaped by earlier victories and an existing worldwide base network. Britain can begin with command of the sea and concentrate on enforcing it. Their difference concerns strategic sequence and initial position rather than mutually exclusive theories of naval war.
