INTRODUCTION
1. Pakistan Navy is a four dimensional force of Pakistan, but was neglected due to unawareness of political think tanks of Pakistan regarding the geopolitical importance of Pakistani coastal belt and the due role of Pakistan Navy in its best utilization. Pakistan navy nowadays is going through major and effective changes in order to rise as a regional force. Since the birth of Pakistan, Navy has proved its effectiveness and efficiency at all times.
2. Pakistan Navy has a defined mission and Vision to defend its Exclusive Economic Zone, offshore economic resources, Sea Lines of Communication and to protect its merchant fleet which is important for the trade of Pakistan, as most of the trade of Pakistan is through the sea. In

There is an almost preoccupied focus on shielding the critical port and defusing the prospect of a probable blockade. Also by dispersion of its operational bases, the PN perhaps escalates that it would be in a position to threaten Indian entrance to the oil supply routes. In the two decades since 1990, the overall policy seems to undergone a qualitative change, in terms of the added emphasis on principles of more positive sea control. Apart from the three fundamental areas mentioned above, the navy now seems to be focusing much more on practical measures to control the waters in its immediate locality.
DYNAMIC CONTROLLER OF SEA-LANES
6. PN at present, does not merely endeavor to deny the Indian navy control of sea lanes close to its coasts, but keenly control the sea passageways themselves. At the same time it is evolving the capability to prohibit the flow of Indian maritime trade in critical sea lanes closer to Indian coasts.
PROTECTION OF ENERGY-LINES
7. With over partial of the world crude oil being exported through the choke point from the Strait of Hormuz, Pakistan can still not afford to neglect the security of energy lines. Pakistan realizes that given the sky rocketing prices of oil, entrance to the supply routes would be critical for energy hungry nations like Japan, China and India. It thus appears focused on enhancing its naval footprint by setting up naval bases along its coast. This would also
In the days of the Cold War, this choke point was something the Soviet Navy would count upon. All maritime traffic

What does the United States Navy do? The united states navy controls everything and anything that deals with the ocean or water. The United States Navy Patrols the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans and in the Arabian Gulf just to name a few. in most of the cases the only time that Naval ships are deployed is either to demonstrate U.S. Power and to resolve potential threats. In other cases the United states Will send out carrier Strike groups which consists of an aircraft carrier , different types of ships and submarines to train and learn with nations from all over the world.
As an institution tasked with the protection of the United States and its interest around the world including on, above, and below the sea, it is increasingly more important that the United States Navy (US Navy) continually works to generate and adapt to change in order be prepared for any threat from enemies near and afar.
Since 1960, Pakistan was perceived in the U. s. States as an integral bulwark against the globalized Communism in the Cool War. The U. s. States very carefully strengthened Pakistan during 1971 although The legislature kept in place an hands embargo. In 1970, Indian local
The Navy’s mission revolves around not only the sea, but also the air and the land. It secures and protects the oceans around the world to create peace and stability, making the seas safe for travel and trade.
Marine patrol policing has been around for many years patrolling the waterways, it is one of the oldest patrol strategies (Ortmeier 2006, p233). The men and women that protect the rivers, lakes, canals and harbors may go by boat unit, water police, river police, maritime police and the United States Coast Guard. Just as one might see local and state police patrolling the streets and highways the waterways need policing also. They provide access to many ports and inlets that could be used for illegal activity. Some of this illegal activity can range from weapons and drug smuggling to human trafficking. Some of the functions and responsibilities of the Marine Patrol Units include enforcement of boating laws, investigation of boating accidents, drownings, commercial vessel inspections, protection of vital assets and
The involvement of the United State Navy during the Korean War was instrumental to maintaining the situation going on in Southern Asia. North Korean forces mainly consisted of only ground troops, so naval and naval aviation operations were needed to deploy, retrieve and resupply troops along with conducting bombing raids. The path that the Korean War followed allowed for the United States to gauge how the growing Soviet threat would play out in the years following and reemphasized the need and importance of a surface fleet in conjunction with the growing power that was and is nuclear weapons. If it were not for the United Nation’s naval forces, the Korean War would have been a loss and the Cold War may have gone down a different path than
5. The present senior officers of the Navy are well aware of the reasons for changes in established doctrines and in the development of new ones. But bhis cannot necessarily be said of the Commanders of the future, who very probably will be inexperienced in command in war.
Those challenges are located in dispersed area and different country, but most of the area of disaster located where the sea and land merge. In the maritime world whereas all activities of trade and social life activities occurred indicate that 80% peoples are resides within 100 miles of coastline. This situation required the expanding concept of littoral maneuver to hundreds of miles inland to resolve crises and the US Marine Corps need to aware about the geographical challenge in built strategy on littoral aspect. Moreover, in order to be ready on those challenges, the US Marine Corps seek for the future Naval integration capability development. The US Marine Corps will strengthen their partnership with the Navy and Coast Guard by find out the best way in operating effectively through maritime domain . This synergy of the US Marine Corps, US Navy and Coast Guard within their unique capabilities of their assets, like maneuver on the sea and water surface could meet the sufficient needs and the effectiveness of coordination among services for the planning and to conduct the theater level security
The 21st century came accompanied by different worldwide security’s challenges. In this complex environment the U.S. must be able to use efficiently all instruments of power to defend the national interests. Now than ever the U.S. military power must be prepared to defeat the enemy using air, land, and sea. Thus, the transition of troops from the sea to the shore will remain an essential way to achieve a position of advantage over the forces hostile to U.S. interests. Frequent concerns of other countries related to improvement of anti-amphibious and amphibious operations highlight the importance of these kind of warfare in the future conflicts. Today’s concern is not about the possession of amphibious capabilities, but about the
waterways, making sure traffic flows in a safe and efficient manner.6)Living Marine Resources - Enforces domestic fishing laws through patrols and inspections.7)Ice Operations - Helps transport goods and personnel in connection with scientific and national security efforts in polar regions. Also breaks through ice with specialized ships and keeps track of icebergs to help direct commercial vessels.8) Marine Safety - Sets safety standards and inspects commercial vessels to ensure those standards are being maintained. 9)Marine Environmental Protection - Prevents and responds to oil and chemical spills, stops illegal dumping in U.S. waters and works prevent an invasive plant and animal species.10)Illegal Drug Interdiction - Uses sea vessels and aircraft to intercept illegal drug shipments and collect intelligence.11)Fish Stock Protection - Ensures foreigners don’t raid U.S. fish stocks.
Sir Corbett’s aim was control of the sea by interrupting via interceptions and/or naval blockade.9 Without shipping communications and the normal flow of commerce, the enemy is forced into an ill-prepared response. Again, interruption of communications in space could be an effective tool against the enemy. However, one would need to be careful not to disrupt their own communication with the global connectivity that has happened through space domain technology
Gunboat diplomacy had its origins in the Opium War, when the Chinese rebelled against the British importation of opium into China, and the British response was to send a gunboat up the Yangtze River. The resort to force in diplomatic initiatives has roots in antiquity, from the original disputes in the Fertile Crescent; but every generation has refined the use of coercion, to the point that today government’s use of coercion is a well-oiled machine. There is almost an unwritten gentlemen’s agreement that national government attempts to overwhelm a weak nation’s government, the world community feigns disapproval. All action is deliberately confused, however, because underlying all of the appearance of law and order, the world community still honors the law of conquest.
First, the South China Sea constitutes the eastern approach to the Strait of Malacca, one of the “world's four most important strategic maritime passages,” and therefore contains the vital SLOCs between the Indian and Pacific Oceans.3 Figure 1. provides a visual representation of the SLOCs running through the South China Sea. “About 25% of the global shipping fleet transits through the region each year, underlining the importance of the South China Sea as an extension of the Malacca chokepoint.”4 That 25% traveling these SLOCs includes over half of the world’s shipping for oil and gas every year.5 Considering the volume of traffic passing through the South China Sea, a disruption of traffic along these SLOCs caused by a claims dispute or even armed conflict will rapidly generate negative global effects. Short of military action, challenges such as natural disasters6 or piracy require an international unified action (or at least, de-conflicted action) from multiple if not all South China Sea claimant nations.
