Summary/Abstract: The attempt to identify a possible solution for the realisation of a national defense strategy derives from the extrinsic motivation to quantify those national security objectives that find their representation in strategies and doctrines.The national defense strategy contains those directions, corresponding to the national objectives, regarding the manifestation of interests at the national and international levels. The identification of a model that achieves a connection between the ends, the ways of accomplishment and the means necessary to reach the national security objectives, represents a necessary step to the theoretical level of the strategic thinking from which the practical thinking extracts its foundations. The novelty of this approach derives from the intrinsic motivation to promote the opportunity of a maritime strategy and to identify the level of its representativeness within the National Defense Strategy and the Military Strategy. Through this approach, I address the specialists, those who contribute to the development of strategic and doctrinal documents, the master’s degree and doctoral students, the student officers, those interested in the mechanism of developing a strategy, to have at hand a possible solution for the realisation of the national defenses strategy, and also to identify the correlation between the component elements (ends-ways-means) and their implications at the level of secondary strategies and doctrines.
