It signaled a change in focus and. therefore, in properties for the Naval Service away from operations on the sea toward power projection and the employment of naval forces from the sea to influence events in the littoral regions of the world those areas adjacent to the oceans and seas that are within direct control of and vulnerable to the striking power of sea-based forces. The purpose of U.S. naval forces remains to project the power and influence of the nation across the seas to foreign waters and shores in both peace and war.
