naval campaign
Sea-based military operation
A naval campaign is a series of coordinated military operations conducted at sea toward a strategic objective.
Unlike a single battle, a campaign involves multiple engagements over an extended period: The Pacific naval campaign gradually pushed Japanese forces back toward the home islands.
Naval campaigns typically aim to establish sea control, protect shipping lanes, or support ground operations.
