Naval Operations refer to the various activities and missions carried out by naval forces at sea. This encompasses a wide range of actions including the deployment and maneuvering of ships, submarines, and aircraft in maritime environments for purposes such as combat, reconnaissance, logistics, and humanitarian assistance. Naval Operations can involve combat operations against hostile forces, securing sea lanes for trade, conducting exercises and drills, establishing naval dominance, and supporting joint operations with other branches of the military. These operations are critical in maintaining national security, projecting power, and ensuring freedom of navigation in international waters. Effective naval operations are characterized by strategic planning, coordination among various naval assets, and the use of advanced technologies for communication and surveillance.
