In the campaign, uncontrolled oil regions are a strategic problem because their revenue expands what the state can build and operate.

The rapidly growing American fleet turns that resource race into a problem of competitive naval construction. Within this model, fleet strength rests on resources and industrial finance as well as tactical performance and ship design.
