- 5"-38 caliber gun [r]: A dual purpose (DP) gun, effective for both surface and antiaircraft use, mounted on very many U.S. Navy ships in the World War II era, but which has disappeared from service today. [e]
- 5"-54 caliber gun [r]: Until the introduction of the 5"-62 caliber gun, the primary medium naval gun of U.S. warships after the Second World War [e]
- 5"-62 caliber gun [r]: The main gun for shore bombardment and some anti-surface warfare on newer U.S. Navy warships; the successor to 5"-54 caliber guns. [e]
- AGM-84 Harpoon [r]: A U.S. developed anti-shipping missile that can be launched from aircraft, ships and submarines [e]
- AN- [r]: U.S. military nomenclature for electronic equipment, following the Joint Electronics Type Designation System [e]
- Air tasking order [r]: The process and documentation of plans for the coordinated use of air and missile resources, and ground systems, such as electronic warfare and intelligence collection, which may interact with them [e]
- Air, artillery and missile defense [r]: An integrated approach to defending surface forces against all types of weapons that fly through the atmosphere or space; a radar may detect artillery shells, helicopters, or missiles, while a close-in gun may shoot down any of them [e]
- Air-to-surface missile [r]: Launched from an fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter, missiles of this category have a wide variety of ranges, sensors, autonomy vs. man-in-the-loop control, warheads, and need for battle damage assessment [e]
- Aircraft carrier [r]: A warship designed to launch and recover combat aircraft and aircraft that support military operations [e]
- Anti-aircraft artillery [r]: A general term for guns that can elevate to high angles and shoot accurately at aircraft, using visual, electro-optical, or radar guidance. [e]
- Battle-class [r]: While the name has been applied to several classes, the core definition is the 1942 war construction class, for which the highest priority was improving its antiaircraft capability; there was much debate on retaining a large torpedo battery, and greater range was definitely needed [e]
- Battleship [r]: A heavily-armored, warship optimized for fighting other warships using large-caliber guns; certain armor requirements differentiated from cruisers; obsolete by end of World War II. [e]
- Carrier strike group [r]: In the United States Navy, the group of ships centered around a large aircraft carrier [e]
- County-class [r]: Large destroyers of the 1960s and 1970s, built around the Sea Slug missile, primarily for anti-air warfare but with appreciable surface-to-surface capability; also guns and Exocet anti-shipping missiles; Wessex helicopter [e]
- Cruiser [r]: While definitions vary with time and doctrine, a large warship capable of acting independently, as a flagship, or a major escort; capabilities include anti-air warfare, anti-surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, land attack, and possibly ballistic missile defense [e]
- Destroyer [r]: While the definition has evolved constantly, it is a multipurpose surface warship, generally less powerful than a cruiser, with capabilities against ship, aircraft, submarine, land, and sometimes ballistic missile targets [e]
- Dual-purpose gun [r]: A artillery piece, now most commonly on ships, which has a sufficiently wide range of aiming angles, fire control, and ammunition that it can engage in two distinctly different type of targeting, such as anti-surface warfare and anti-air warfare, or anti-tank warfare and anti-aircraft artillery [e]
- E-2 Hawkeye [r]: Designed for the United States Navy and used by several other countries, this radar aircraft carries long-range airborne early warning and surface search radar, and has a modest force command & control capability, the latter enhanced by "virtual workstations" on linked ships [e]
- Falklands War [r]: 1982 war between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands and their dependencies. [e]
- HMS Sheffield [r]: British destroyer, a Type 42-class optimized for anti-air warfare, sunk by an Argentinean Exocet anti-shipping missile during the Falklands War while in an outer air defense ring protecting the task force [e]
- Kirov-class [r]: Renamed the Admiral Ushakov-class under the Russian Federation, a Soviet class of large missile cruisers, probably the most potent surface warships built since WWII (excluding aircraft carriers) [e]
- Naval guns and gunnery [r]: Artillery weapons on ships, and techniques and devices for aiming them. [e]
