		Navies with characteristics similar to such forces might one day be on the other side in a confpct.
		Coastal navies generally do not have long-range SAM systems on board surface ships, and the air defense of naval units or naval task groups is therefore normally not as well integrated or coordinated as in blue-water navies.
		The U.S. Navy and the Marine Corps have several related research projects in progress, and there are plans for interim solutions until a final one is found; the problem seems, however, to be so severe for present and future operations that far more resources should be transferred to it.

		The Navy was established in September 1950 by consolidating regional naval forces under General Staff Department command.
		With Soviet assistance, the navy reorganized in 1954 and 1955 into the North Sea Fleet, East Sea Fleet, and South Sea Fleet, and a corps of admirals and other naval officers was established from the ranks of the ground forces.
		As part of its overall program of naval modernization, the PLAN is trying to develop a blue water navy; there has been interest on the part of the PLAN in building or acquiring an aircraft carrier.

	A base for a blue-water navy
		The Navy's existing bases, including its two operational ones in Mumbai and Vishakhapatnam, are located in enclaves within commercial ports, making for an unsuitable situation especially in times of war.
		The objective was to move the Navy's premier establishment from the Mumbai base where surveillance and a host of other issues, including continuous silting, heavy movement of merchant vessels which results in naval ships having to wait out at sea sometimes for a whole day, and the lack of space for expansion, proved unsolvable.
		Once Karwar was selected after technical and hydrographical studies indicated that a base there would provide the Navy with a high state of combat readiness, an efficient state of maintenance, modern amenities for the crew, besides a depth of water and gradient, a framework paper was prepared in September 1984.

	China's Navy Today
		This "green water" generally is described as being encompassed within an arc swung from Vladivostok to the north, to the Strait of Malacca to the south, and out to the "first island chain" (Aleutians, Kuriles, Ryukyus, Taiwan, Philippines, and Greater Sunda islands) to the east.
		The Navy's underway replenishment capability remains largely undeveloped, and the sustainability of PLAN units is likely to be severely limited by this shortcoming.
		While it is unlikely to develop the capability to challenge the U.S. Navy for control of the seas, it is quite possible that the PLAN will, within two decades, develop a Navy with regional capabilities second only to Japan's.

	Blue-water navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A brown-water navy is commonly accepted as one that is based around a river/riverine system and is not able to deploy at an autonomous level in the major oceans.
		A green-water navy is commonly accepted as one that is based around a coastal or littorals capability.
		The potential exists for the larger green water and potential blue water navies to provide a significant challenge to, or even defeat, any expeditionary fleet from a blue water navy, when the engagement takes place within their home waters.

	2002 Edition: Vision...Presence...Power (Chapter 1 continued)
		Accordingly, the Navy's evolving change or "transformation" is increasingly more about the way it operates and its capabilities, not about the way it "looks." The focus is on a significant change in Navy force posture and operational concepts, not just the structure of the force.
		The Navy is complementing this transformation from a platform-centric to a network-centric force with new concepts for employing our platforms and the continued evolution of the platforms themselves.
		The Navy is exporting stealth beyond today's submarines to the next generation of surface ships, aircraft and submarines, and building new platforms that use modular design concepts and open systems architectures to facilitate the incorporation of emerging technologies.

		The Indian Navy's swift response to the devastation in the Indian Ocean and its littoral —starting from the Straits of Hormuz to the Malacca Straits — is sure to be frowned upon by the United States and even the Australian Navy which has unstated ambitions in the region.
		India’s ambition to be recognised as a ‘blue water’ navy has thus received a considerable boost in the past three weeks.
		Until quite recently, the presence of the Indian Navy in Sri Lankan waters was anathema to both the Colombo-based government and the LTTE, which enjoys de facto control over large parts of the east and the north of the island nation.

		At the time of her sinking, Chile was a neutral country and had been assured by Germany that none of her ships would be attacked as long as they traveled with their running lights on.
		The Tolten had been stopped before her attack by a U.S. Navy patrol boat and had been warned to be on the lookout for submarines and to travel "Blacked Out".
		Since her sinking, she has been wire dragged clear to a depth of 50 feet, so as not to be a hazard to navigation.

	Ocean Regions: Blue Water - Characteristics
		Of that, 65 percent is considered blue water (open ocean)--waters that lie beyond the coastal shallows (coastal ocean).
		The neritic zone is the first 200 meters (656 feet) of ocean water, which includes the seashore and most of the continental shelf.
		Although fish are found everywhere in the ocean, the abundance of small organisms in the neritic zone provides a plentiful source of food for larger animals.

		The Navy plans to build three 12-boat riverine security squadrons, the first of which is training now and will deploy to Iraq next year.
		Mullen stressed that one of the key missions of expeditionary forces will be to build relationships with other navies and nations, to deal with conflicts in “phase zero” - in other words, preventing events from escalating to the point of conflict through better security and stronger relationships.

	The People
		Brown water is the most important maritime arena for China, as it is for any nation, since it includes coastal traffic, territorial waters, the contiguous zone, and the claimed exclusive economic zone.
		As far as the blue water realm is concerned, the PLAN is already active in terms of the naval mission of “presence,” of sending naval units on long voyages to extend diplomatic reach and spread the nation’s influence.
		The PLAN almost certainly intends concentrating its operational capabilities in waters within a couple of hundred miles of its coast: it is not in China’s interest to expand the geographic scope of a naval contest.

		From the sixteenth to the mid-twentieth century, however, China’s navy stagnated, only to be born anew during the 1950s, when Mao Zedong proclaimed that China should develop a strong fleet.
		Not only was a strong navy necessary to exploit maritime resources in the surrounding seas, including enormous reserves of fish, oil, and natural gas, but “until the Chinese have an oceangoing navy, their freedom to trade will depend upon the goodwill of others.
		Until that navy is complete, China cannot hope to fight and win a war at sea, especially against a force as large and sophisticated as the U.S. Navy.

	What Army Logisticians Should Know about the Navy
		The expeditionary strike group that the Navy is currently designing will consist of an amphibious ready group and a destroyer, a cruiser, a nuclear attack submarine, and one of the destroyers currently under development.
		Naval forces designed to control the deep waters of the seas are known colloquially as the "Blue Water Navy." Since the demise of the Soviet Union, the Navy has had unprecedented dominance of the oceans of the world.
		Organizations involved with Navy logistics transformation include the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations, Fleet Readiness and Logistics (N –4), who is similar to the Army's Deputy Chief of Staff, G –4, and the Chief of Naval Education and Training (CNET), who is equivalent to the Commander of the Army Training and Doctrine Command.
