严复的“海军强国”梦及其当代意义

Yan Fu's Making China Strong by Navy and Its Contemporary Significance

严复是近代中国海军教育的奠基者之一,也是少有的几个曾经对海军建设进行过整体规划的人之一。但长期以来,他在海军建设方面的探索和贡献却因其翻译等方面的巨大成就而被淹没,鲜有对其海军建设思想进行系统研究者。其实,严复关于中国海军建设的思想主张与实践,典型地反映了近代中华民族建设海军强国和海洋强国的梦想,这一梦想虽限于当时的历史条件而无法实现,但对当代中国的海军建设和海洋强国建设却不无参考价值,值得深入研究。

Yan Fu is one of the founders of Chinese Navy, but his contribution to navy is researched fewer. In fact, his thoughts and practice in the construction of navy reflect the dream of making a strong China by navy, which did not come true at that time, but it has some significance of reference in China now, which is worth a further research.
