Not too much of an impact for today's 21st century. You see, AIRPLANES did not exist when Mahan wrote his book in 1890.
Consequently, airpower has taken some of the thunder out of Mahan's theories (the naval portion); because the US Air Force has taken up some the slack (duties) from the navy.
In addition, the navy of Mahan's time up thru the Viet War may have been nearly the same...but this 21st century military/navy is closer to a law enforcement force than the military/navy that Mahan once knew.
Alfred T. Mahan was best known for his idea of "sea power," which stated that countries with a strong navy have greater worldwide influence.

Alfred T. Mahan argued against isolationism because he believed that a strong navy and control of strategic sea routes were necessary for a country's security and economic prosperity. He argued that isolationism would limit a country's ability to project power globally and protect its interests.
