Abstract

Ocean is a sea lane of communication for humanity. Ocean brings wealth to those who have a control over the sea. Coastal State who represents a coastal society tries hard and even harder to protect and defend their interest over their coastal sea area. Conflict of interest over the sea area is happen and moving from an argument to use of forces in order to present their interest and control over the sea area. Naval warfare without control is a chance to release a true nature of war and course an extensive damage to life, property, and maritime environment. From past to present, Naval warfare happen all the time and never ending but changing the way we fought over the sea from time to time depend on the restrictive guiding of law of armed conflicts over the naval warfare. Naval warfare is never ending only the dead have seen the end of war at sea.
