Sea Denial
This latter version of sea denial can be very confusing, however, because it blurs the difference between it and sea control. It might be safer, indeed, to regard it as an indirect strategy of sea control if the aim of the exercise is in fact to facilitate your
eventual use of the sea somewhere

The value of theory in maritime operations
Corbett reproduced a seventeenth-century report that pointed out the essential difference between operations at sea and on land: it intended to enjoin our fleet to advance and fight at sea much after the manner of an army at land, assigning every ship to a particular division, rank, file and station, which order and regularity was not only improbable but almost impossible to be observed by so great a fleet in so uncertain a place as the sea.

Main Methods
Privateering was used both by the weaker and the stronger fleet, while commerce raiding was generally used by the weaker fleet. Although similar in many ways, there is also a great difference between privateering and commerce raiding. Privateering was conducted by privately owned ships and for profit. In contrast, commerce raiding was organized and conducted by the navies.
Common to both methods is that attacks on enemy merchant shipping are conducted sporadically.

Operating Environment
The single biggest difference between the open ocean and the littorals is density of surface and air traffic. Narrow seas are characterized by the presence of large numbers of friendly, potentially hostile, and neutral commercial vessels, warships,
and auxiliaries.

Are You Nice or Kind?
There is a difference between being nice and being kind. Nice can be dishonest. It can be a "yes" when we really mean “no." Nice can be the perfect bandage for our true feelings. Nice is normal-comfortable, in fact. It doesn't shake up our beliefs or awaken deeper layers of knowing. Nice floats along from place to place, denying the freedom that comes with choice. Kindness is different. Kindness takes strength. It takes honesty. Kindness will never ask you to sacrifice your integrity; it will hold you to it. When there has been wrongdoing, Nice will say, "It's fine!" with a big smile and hollow eyes. Kindness will say, "This isn't okay, and there needs to be a change, but I hold you with compassion and understanding." Kindness knows the power in honesty and how enabling people strips us of that empowerment. Nice is taught, but kindness? Kindness is who we innately are at our core.
