naval power projection

Naval power projection is a country's ability to use its navy to influence events, protect interests, and maintain security far from its shores. It involves deploying ships, submarines, and aircraft carriers to showcase strength, support allies, or deter adversaries. This capability allows a nation to control sea lanes, provide humanitarian aid, and influence regional or global stability. Essentially, it extends a nation’s reach and impact across oceans, enabling strategic operations and signaling power without the need for ground forces.
