Naval warfare in the Second World War involved several types of combat:

• small-boat skirmishes, such as fighting E-boats in the English Channel, or in the Pacific, PT boats.
• submarines vs. convoys, and escorts vs. submarines
• gunnery duels, such as the battlewagon vs. battlewagon confrontations off Guadalcanal, or the hunt for the Bismarck
• confrontations involving land-based or carrier-based aircraft, such as the Battle of Midway or the "Great Marianas Turkey Shoot."
