ABSTRACT
Naval tactical actions, major naval operations, and maritime campaigns are the main methods of combat employment of naval forces and aviation. Which method of combat employment will be applied depends on the scope and complexity of the military objective to be accomplished in a given part of a maritime theater. The larger the military objective, the larger and more diverse the forces usually employed to accomplish them. The operational and strategic objectives at sea are principally accomplished by conducting major naval operations and maritime campaigns, respectively.
