Anti-surface warfare (ASuW or ASUW) is the branch of naval warfare concerned with the suppression of surface combatants. More generally, it is any weapons, sensors, or operations intended to attack or limit the effectiveness of an adversary's surface ships. Before the adoption of the submarine and naval aviation, all naval warfare consisted of anti-surface warfare.[1] The distinct concept of an anti-surface warfare capability emerged after World War II,[2] and literature on the subject as a distinct discipline is inherently dominated by the dynamics of the Cold War.
