Naval surface warfare

Naval surface warfare involves the operations and tactics used by ships and maritime forces to maintain control of the sea, defend maritime interests, and achieve strategic objectives. It encompasses the management of surface ships, submarines, and aircraft to detect, engage, and neutralize threats from other vessels, aircraft, and coastal defenses. This domain requires advanced navigation, weapon systems, and coordination to ensure dominance in maritime environments, support national security, and project power across oceans and seas. Essentially, it is the art and science of maritime combat and security conducted at or near the ocean’s surface.
