The Initial Strike in Armed Combat at Sea

In the strategic plan for a war, and among the operations carried out
by all branches of the armed forces, the initial operations of the navy in
all naval theaters will play an important part. The main feature of a
naval operation conducted at the outset of a war will be the delivery of
powerful nuclear strikes against important enemy sea and shore targets and
the conduct of aggressive combat actions against enemy naval forces on the
seas and oceans.
