naval strategy
Maritime military planning
Naval strategy is the planning and conduct of warfare at sea, encompassing how nations deploy fleets, control shipping lanes, and project military power across oceans.
It includes decisions about blockades, fleet engagements, and protecting or disrupting maritime commerce.
British naval strategy in World War II focused on keeping Atlantic supply lines open.
The term extends to peacetime positioning of naval forces to deter adversaries or protect interests.
