naval campaigns
Sea-based military operations
Naval campaigns are military operations conducted at sea, typically involving coordinated actions by warships over an extended period toward strategic objectives.
The term encompasses everything from blockades to fleet engagements: The Pacific naval campaigns of World War II changed the balance of power in Asia.
Campaign implies sustained effort rather than a single battle.
