在前苏联解体后的7年里,美国海军对其战略进行了调整,强调沿岸作战。考虑到今后美国部队参与的大部分地区冲突可能在沿岸或近海岸——该地区集中了世界上大部分的人口和商业活动,海军把有效实施沿岸作战作为未来计划的中心。自1992年以来,作战重点从“蓝水”向近岸的转变在《……从海上》等一系列重要文件中得到了反映。 Seven years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the U.S. Navy adjusted its strategy and emphasized fighting along the coast. Given that most of the regional conflicts in the future involving the U.S. forces may be on the coast or off shore - a region that concentrates most of the world's population and commerce, the Navy will put the effective implementation of coastal operations at the center of its future plans. Since 1992, the shift in focus of combat from “blue water” to the nearshore has been reflected in a series of important documents such as “From the Sea”.
