Surface combatants are naval vessels designed primarily for engaging in combat on the ocean's surface. They include various types of ships, such as destroyers, frigates, and corvettes, which are equipped with advanced weaponry and technology. These ships play a crucial role in naval warfare, providing capabilities for anti-air, anti-surface, and anti-submarine operations. These vessels are often part of a larger naval fleet and can operate independently or in coordination with other ships and aircraft. Surface combatants are essential for maintaining maritime security, conducting patrols, and supporting amphibious operations. Their versatility allows them to adapt to various mission requirements in modern naval engagements.
