From ancient biremes to towering battleships, maritime duels have evolved spectacularly throughout history. In the age of wind and sail, battleships maneuvered under the command of master tacticians, unleashing volleys of cannon fire at close range. The development of ironclads heralded an era of armored warfare, with ships withstanding tremendous punishment. The advent of submarines and torpedoes revolutionized naval combat, introducing stealth and underwater warfare. During World War II, aircraft carriers emerged as dominant forces, extending the range of battle and launching devastating air strikes. Today, modern naval warfare emphasizes technological superiority, with guided missiles, electronic warfare systems, and drones shaping the landscape of maritime duels.
