2. The Mission of Navy Ships
The purpose of Navy ships is to carry
out the military strategy of the
2
United States.

3. Strategy
A country’s top-level political
and military plan
3

4. National Military Strategy of the
United States includes three concepts:
• Peacetime Engagement
• Deterrence and Conflict Prevention
• Fight and Win
4

5. Peacetime
Engagement
We deploy our
forces overseas
and around the
world in peacetime
to promote
economic and
political stability.
5

6. Stability
Steadiness or order in the
international or political realm
6

7. The presence of American ships encourages
free trade and peaceful connections among
nations by ensuring the security of the seas.
7

8. Deterrence is placing combat power
where it cannot be ignored so a
potential enemy is less likely to
become hostile for fear of reprisal.
• Key goal of our military forces
• Discourage and stop acts of aggression
8

9. Deterrence
Prevention of war by instilling
fear in political enemies
9

10. Trivia:
“Si vis pacem, para bellum.”—
a Latin adage used by the
Romans meaning, “If you seek
peace, prepare for war.”
10

11. FIGHT and WIN
“Fight and Win” underlies all military
force efforts to be combat ready at all
times by maintaining a permanent state
of readiness.
11

of the three elements of US national
military strategy?
A. Peacetime engagement

16. The Navy’s Mission
To maintain, train, and equip combat-ready
naval forces capable of winning wars,
deterring aggression, and maintaining
16
freedom of the seas

17. Projection of
Strategic Deterrence Power Ashore
17 Sea Control Naval Presence

18. Strategic
Referring to a country’s long-
range weapons or plans—the
big picture

23. Sea Control
• Control use of the seas for the
United States and our allies.
• Deny use of the seas to a
23
potential enemy.

War was a good example of sea
control:
The Union blockaded Southern ports
to prevent trade with Europe.

Independence, the United States has
only had an enemy force land on its
soil only three times:
• Entire Revolutionary War
• War of 1812
• World War II—Attu & Kiska in the
Aleutian Islands
27

28. Naval Presence
The Navy's ability to show the flag around
the world on the open seas as a show of
force, ranging from silent threat
to humanitarian assistance.
The U.S. Navy keeps the seas free
and ensures compliance with
international law of the sea.

operations in support of other forces,
such as search-and rescue, amphibious
assaults, or troops already ashore.

stay submerged as
long and were prone
to detection when
surfaced.
Skate (SSN 578)
137

138. SSN SSBN

deploys three types
of submarines, all

(SSGN).

139. Attack Submarines
(SSN)
USS Norfolk
(SSN 714)
139

140. Attack Submarines
(SSN)
The mission of nuclear attack submarines is
to locate and destroy enemy ships and
submarines. Their other missions range from
intelligence collection to special forces and
supply delivery to rescue and recon. They are
the primary defense against enemy submarine
attack.
140

141. Nuclear power turned the submersible
surface ship into a true submarine that no
longer requires frequent replenishment
of fuel and supplies. The first SSN, Nautilus,
traveled 62,000 miles without refueling, and
Triton went 83 days submerged while
141 traveling around the globe.

142. SSN 23
Jimmy Carter
Today’s submarines are even more
self-sustaining with:
• air-revitalization equipment
changing the air
• oxygen extraction from outside
142 seawater

143. The concept of technical superiority over
numerical superiority was and still is the
driving force in American submarine
143
development.

144. Many developing countries have
submarines able to evade many surface
systems. While other methods can counter
this threat, “the best way to find a sub is
with another sub.”
144

nuclear strike platform.
154

155. USS Nebraska

159. Guided Missile A new attack
Submarines submarine class,
called the
(SSGN) Virginia-class, will
fully support a new
strategic concept.

.50 caliber
machine guns
170 USS Guardian (MCM 5)

171. Minehunter, Coastal (MHC)
USS Robin
(MHC 54)
The MHC is smaller, lighter, and slower than
the MCM and designed with a reinforced
fiberglass hull for minesweeping in coastal
waters. It has an underwater lifespan of 15

175. Amphibious Warfare
Amphibious Warfare is an attack by naval
forces and combat troops launched from the
sea. Amphibious ships transport the
troops, their weapons, and supplies to the
hostile shores.
175

176. AMPHIBIOUS WARFARE
Usually begins with surface ships and planes
bombing hostile shores. Then amphibious
ships bring in ground forces while landing
craft and helicopters move those forces from
ship to shore to quickly capture or deny the
enemy use of land.
176

177. Amphibious Command Ships
USS Blue Ridge
(LCC 19)

(LHD)
USS Bataan
(LHD 5)
The LHD is designed to embark, transport,
and land 2,000 troops and their equipment
by means of transport helicopters in
181 vertical envelopment.

182. USS Bataan
(LHD 5)
The Navy calls this technique of using
helicopters instead of landing vehicles to
put troops on the beach vertical
envelopment. This method is much more
effective than the older deployment
182
methods used during World War II.

183. Vertical Envelopment
Able to place troops and supplies
on any position accessible by the
air
183

184. Amphibious Assault Ship
(LHD)
USS Bataan
(LHD 5)
Vertical envelopment allows the landing
troops and not the defenders to choose
the areas of engagement, simultaneously
making the process of amphibious
assault easier and coastal defense
184 significantly more difficult.

257. Conclusion
National Military Strategy
1. Peaceful engagement
2. Deterrence and conflict prevention
3. Fight and win
Navy seeks to fulfill it’s mission through
1. Strategic deterrence
2. Sea control
3. Projection of power ashore
4. Naval presence
257 USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Battle Group

258. The Navy operates a wide range of ships
to accomplish its mission.
The aircraft carrier is the center of the
modern battle group.
In peace or tension, it projects “forward
presence.”
In war, carriers can fulfill their mission
before the enemy can spot them.
Under the sea, the SSBNs are the
backbone of strategic deterrence.
