This new volume from the Blue and Gold Professional Library describes and analyzes the tactical employment of naval combat arms, including surface forces, submarine forces, naval aviation, and naval special forces in a high-intensity conventional war at sea.

Tactics of Naval Combat Arms is framed by combat missions of each naval combat arm and explained as part of the much broader operational framework of obtaining or denying sea control. Tactical techniques and applications are explained in accessible terms, including coverage of naval special forces and respective unmanned vehicles. The book contains extensive resources covering the scouting methods used by surface combatants, attack submarines, and naval combat/ASW aircraft, avoidance maneuvering by submarines, and use of weapons by naval aircraft. Written as a sequel to Milan Vego's General Naval Tactics, this new work offers essential insight for naval tacticians and strategists.

Industry Reviews

"Vego delivers a clear, authoritative roadmap to understanding modern naval tactics. With detailed historical examples and expert insight, this brilliant work is indispensable for students of naval warfare and military history alike." -Vice Admiral Brendan Mclane, commander of the Naval Surface Force, Pacific Fleet

"Any student of naval tactics and strategy would do well to read Milan Vego's excellent new book. Vego is highly knowledgeable at all levels of war, from the tactical to the strategic, and is a Mariner of the highest order". -Rear Admiral William McQuilkin, USN (Ret.)

"This book is a fitting addition to the textbook on naval tactics in the genre of Captain Wayne Hughes' contributions. It is certainly recommended reading for tactically involved sailors, midshipmen and young officers to better understand how tactical instructions used in navies have evolved from such textbooks. Importantly, the two final chapters, Tactical Thinking and Tenets would be useful refreshers for flag officers and those preparing for ship and squadron command as well!" -Admiral Sudarshan Shrikhande, Editor-in-Chief of Indian Naval Despatch
