Naval warfare

Mankind has fought battles on the sea for the last 3000 years or more. The term "naval warfare" is used to describe such battles, whether they be on a sea (Mediterranean, for example), or on the ocean. The history of naval warfare is extensive.

The many sea battles through history also provide a reliable source for shipwrecks and underwater archaeology. A major example, albeit not very commonly known, is the exploration of the wrecks of various ships in the Pacific Ocean, namely Japanese warships that sank during the Battle of Midway.
