	Modern naval tactics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is tempting to regard modern naval combat as the purest expression of tactics.
		One scenario that was the focus of American naval planning during the Cold War was a conflict between two modern and well equipped fleets on the high seas, the clash of the United States and the Soviet Union.
		Modern active sonar is limited to 250 dB (decibels), but this level of noise can be detected at about ten times the range that is useful to the operator, acting as a beacon to any submarine in 100 190 km.

		In the time of Ancient Greece and the Roman empire, naval warfare centred around long, narrow vessels powered by banks of oarsmen (such as triremes and quinqueremes) designed to ram and sink enemy vessels, or come alongside the enemy vessel so its occupants could be attacked hand-to-hand.
		Naval warfare continued in this vein through the Middle Ages until cannon became commonplace and capable of being reloaded quickly enough to be reused in the same battle.
		Warships were designed to carry increasing numbers of cannon, and naval tactics evolved bring a ship's firepower to bear in a broadside, with ships-of-the-line arranged in a line of battle.

		Naval Warfare, U.S. Naval Doctrine Publication 1, says, "Maneuver warfare, based on the twin pillars of decisiveness and rapidity, is our preferred style of warfighting." By way of elaboration, NDP 1 specifies four key concepts of modern maneuver warfare: center of gravity, critical vulnerability, focus of effort, and main effort.
		The object of naval warfare is the control of communications, and not, as in land warfare, the conquest of territory.
		Contemporary Operational Maneuver from the Sea In modern naval tactics, maneuver by a formation of fighting ships and aircraft is subordinated to the maneuvers (or movements) of the missiles or torpedoes they fire.18 What is more, battles are won by out-scouting the enemy and concealing not only one's formations but one's intentions.

	Naval Strategy and Tactics
		The naval officer must be as completely a seaman as an officer in any mercantile marine; and, in addition to this, he must be as accomplished in the use of the material of war entrusted to his charge as the members of any armed force in the world.
		When we enter the domain of tactics strictly so called, that is to say, when we discuss the proceedings of naval forces whether single ships, squadrons, or fleets; in hostile contact with one another, we find the time of Trafalgar full of instructive episodes.
		The tactical condition which the naval architects of the Trafalgar period had to meet was the employment of an increased number of two-deckers of the medium classes.

	Wikinfo \| Naval ship
		A naval ship is a ship (or sometimes boat, depending on classification) used for military purposes, commonly by a navy.
		Generally naval ships are damage resilient and armed with various weapon systems, though armament on troop transports is light or non-existent.
		Naval ship classification is a field that has changed over time, and is not an area of wide international agreement, so this article currently uses the system as currently used by the United States Navy.

		For instance, in the classic Elizabethan naval battle between an English fleet commanded by Drake and a massive Spanish fleet, the primary advantages held by the English was that their cannons had longer range, and their sailors were better trained.
		Modern American submarines stay submerged for weeks at a time, and are at least as fast operating at depth as they are on the surface.
		The primary point I wanted to make by discussing the history of naval warfare was that formations, strategy and tactics used in fleet actions were mostly driven by the details of ship capability in propulsion, communications and weaponry.

	THE EVOLUTION OF JAPANESE NAVAL TACTICS
		The tactic of capping the T, or as the Japanese called it, tei sempo, "the tei tactic" (after the Chinese character tei), soon became the tactical holy grail sought by naval commanders worldwide.
		Akiyama wrote, "The tactic for opposing a single enemy flag line is the otsu tactic, in which we subject the enemy to a scissoring attack....
		In any event, while Japanese naval fire control on the eve of the Russo-Japanese War apparently was somewhat behind that in Britain and the United States, it was on a par with, or even slightly ahead of, that of the Russian navy.

		The three prongs of the naval trident have long been called strategy, tactics, and logistics; all one has to do to bring the classical paradigm up to date is change the order to strategy, logistics, and tactics.
		Naval maneuver warfare--objective-oriented deployment and sustainment of combat potential on both sides of a coastline--is the historically validated practice of maritime powers.

		In naval warfare, convoy tactics were developed during the age of sail to guard against pirates and privateers.
		From a tactical point of view, World War I-era submarines were similar to privateers in the age of sail: only a little faster than the merchant ships they were attacking, and capable of sinking only a small number of vessels in a convoy because of their limited supply of torpedoes and shells.
		The enormous number of vessels involved and the frequency of engagements meant that statistical techniques could be applied to evaluate tactics: this was a significant early use of operational research in war.

		The French naval success at the Second Battle of the Virginia Capes in September 1781 was ‘the keystone' of the Yorktown Campaign, and provides dramatic testimony of the French Navy's contribution to the American cause in that theater of operations.
		Though Suffren was openly critical of d'Estaing's apparent timid naval tactics, the latter did not let this prevent him from recommending Suffren to be given command of a squadron that was to deploy in 1781 to defend Dutch possessions at the Cape of Good Hope.
		Anglophone naval historians also express their preference of tactics that seek to destroy the opponent's formation, with the logic that such results will leave open an opportunity to later exploit less restricted conditions to pursue the objectives of a campaign.

		Up until the 19th century, much of military tactics was confined to battlefield tactics, concerned with maneuvering units in battle in open terrain.
		Specialized tactics exist for many situations, from situations as small as securing a room to large-scale operations such as establishing air superiority in aircraft carrier battles.
		Common military tactics include frontal assaults, attempts to flank the enemy, keeping troops in reserve and the use of ambushes.

		The story of U.S. naval aviation during this time is a familiar one, but that of the Japanese is less so, due to the formidable barrier posed by language.
		One such diligent student of Japanese naval history is Mark R. Peattie, familiar as the coauthor (with David C. Evans) of the highly praised Kaigun: Tactics and Technology in the Imperial Japanese Navy, 1887–1941 (Naval Institute Press, 1997).
		While heavy, the loss of pilots and observers by no means equaled the loss of the “trained maintenance personnel,” invaluable to maintain modern naval aircraft, who went down with their ships.

		Normally, Byzantine war galleys were of the modern design called aphract—"unarmored."
