		Navy ships, due to their size and draft, could not pursue the enemy among the thousands of small vessels clogging the coastline or engage the enemy close to shore.
		The Navy expected Coast Guard vessels to be on patrol two-thirds of the time, a higher demand on both the men and equipment than was required during peacetime in the United States.
		Navy planes and large ships made the initial contact with the enemy miles from shore, while smaller craft and helicopters attacked when the trawlers or small junks tried to reach the shore.

		The United States Navy had prepared as best they could for this eventuality before the war by gathering on the eastern seaboard the nation's scant resources in coastal antisubmarine vessels and aircraft, consisting mainly of lightly armed small craft.
		There is little doubt that the United States was ill-prepared for war and particularly for a campaign against a menace such as the unrestricted submarine warfare waged by the German Navy in the Atlantic Ocean.

	Desert Storm: The war with Iraq
		Navy defense suppression aircraft supported all U.S. and coalition forces-- in fact, availability of the EA-6Bs was a go/no-go criterion for many strike missions.
		The performance of the nearly 30,000 Navy men and nearly 500 aircraft aboard the carriers was unparalleled, and their mission statistics were impressive.
		While the United States and its coalition partners unleashed General Schwarzkopf's "Hail Mary" play, the Iraqis were convinced that the battle would be joined at the center of their defensive lines along the Saudi-Kuwait border, and by amphibious assault.

	Wikinfo \| Frigate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		During the 18th and early 19th centuries, a frigate was a sailing vessel designed for speed, with a flush gun deck carrying 24 to 44 guns, used as a commerce raider and for blockade duty.
		With the introduction of steam and steel warships frigates as a class of warship passed out of use until World War II when they were reintroduced by the British as an antisubmarine escort vessel larger than a corvette but smaller than a destroyer.
		In the United States Navy, guided missile frigates (with the FFG hull classification symbol) bring an anti-air warfare (AAW) capability to the frigate mission, but they have some limitations.
