Contemporary Global Naval Power Proliferation

Control of the seas is once again at the heart of global power politics. Contemporary Global Naval Power Proliferation is a Global Eye Intelligence strategic report that examines how oceans have re-emerged as decisive arenas of competition among major and rising powers. As global trade, energy flows, and digital infrastructure depend on secure sea lanes, maritime dominance has become inseparable from national security and economic survival.

This report analyses the accelerating naval modernisation of the United States, China, Russia, and India, detailing investments in aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, stealth destroyers, hypersonic missiles, and unmanned naval systems. It explains how doctrines such as China’s A2/AD strategy, Russia’s submarine-centric warfare, and India’s expanding Indian Ocean posture are reshaping regional balances from the Indo-Pacific to the Arctic and the Mediterranean.

Beyond platforms, the report explores how AI, cyber warfare, network-centric operations, and unmanned systems are transforming naval combat in the 21st century. It also assesses escalation risks, alliance realignments, chokepoint vulnerabilities, and the potential for miscalculation in contested maritime spaces like the South China Sea.

Sea power does not shift quietly—it defines who controls trade, security, and global influence. Those who understand today’s naval race early will recognise tomorrow’s geopolitical winners before maritime dominance becomes irreversible. Follow Global Eye Intelligence to stay ahead of under-reported shifts shaping the future of global security.
