blue water
Open ocean expanse
Blue water refers to the open ocean, far from coastlines and shallow seas.
The term appears most often in naval contexts: a blue-water navy can project power across oceans, unlike coastal defense forces limited to home waters.
The phrase distinguishes deep-sea operations from brown water (rivers and coastal areas) and green water (continental shelves).
