Named naval formation

Compared with "Green Water Navy" and "blue-water navy", the Yellow Water Navy is the result of distinguishing navies according to the types of operations in marine geography, that is to say, it can't be separated from the offshore navy because the equipped ships are backward.

The Green Water Navy is a navy with certain mid-and long-range combat capability. It has a certain ability to deliver troops from a long distance and can intercept enemy planes and fleets at sea. Although it can fight hundreds of nautical miles away from land, it often depends on the cover and cooperation of long-range land-based aircraft. The feature of this fleet is that the farther away from home, the weaker the fighting capacity, such as the present navy in China.

Blue-water Navy, also known as blue-water navy, refers to a naval form with expeditionary combat capability, which can extend the maritime power to the ocean and deep sea areas, and originated from the "maritime expeditionary capability" of the British Royal Navy.

The deep blue navy is a navy that can fight in the ocean. The deep blue navy also needs a military base in the ocean, which can keep up with the carrier's supply ship and has strong ocean-going anti-submarine, anti-ship and air defense capabilities. Strong enough information search and analysis ability.

Extended data

The types of naval operations are distinguished by marine geography, which can usually be subdivided into four types: inland river navy, brown water navy, green water navy and blue-water navy. The latter three kinds of navies are the main bodies of modern navies.

In the nearest sea area within about 200 nautical miles from the land, the seawater is yellow-brown due to mud, which is commonly known as "yellow water" or "brown water" in the international marine community. Extending from the end of the brown water area to an area more than hundreds of nautical miles, seawater is purer than brown water and is defined as "green water".

Brown water navy and green water navy refer to the naval forces that mainly operate in the continental shelf waters near the coast, such as brown water and green water, and rely on the support of mainland bases. Their main task is to defend the security of their coastline, so they are also called "coastal defensive navy" and "offshore defensive navy" The equipment of Brown Water Navy and Green Water Navy is mainly land-based weapons and light ships.

Deep-sea areas outside the green water area, including the exclusive economic zone and adjacent areas stipulated by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, are relatively pure compared with brown water and green water, and are less affected by land impurities, and the seawater is basically blue or blue-black, so it is called "blue water".

The national naval force with blue water as its strategic focus is "blue-water navy". Blue-water navy's main task is to protect its maritime rights and interests and maritime security, and to independently complete its combat mission with hostile forces threatening its maritime security in the open sea.

Blue-water navy has the nature of sending troops and can be deployed all over the world. Large-scale and self-sufficient. Its equipment is mainly large surface ships, and generally has an aircraft carrier fleet that can carry out three-dimensional fire strikes on the surface, underwater and air.

Blue-water navy should have the defense capability against potential air-to-air threats, long-term and long-distance logistics supply capability, and still have the combat capability under special circumstances (such as the Arctic iceberg group). Only a few countries have substantial blue-water navy, and most countries are in the stage of transforming the green water navy into blue-water navy, which has affected the coastal special economic zones to some extent.

Although there is no clear definition, it is considered necessary to form an aircraft carrier. However, at the beginning of 1980, Australia argued endlessly about the survival of the aircraft carrier Melbourne. Senior naval personnel warned: "Without an aircraft carrier, Australia is vulnerable to various threats." A former naval chief of staff declared: "There will be no more blue-water navy in Australia."
