Naval Interdiction is the Employment of naval forces to interrupt, selectively or completely, the sea commerce of a given nation in order to coerce that nation to change its policy or course of action. This paper will focus upon naval interdiction as a restricted but operationally viable course of action. The scope is limited to the operational commander (CINC, component commander, or JTF commander ). Within this operational framework, the paper's purpose is to conduct a dynamic analysis of the factors an operational commander might encounter regarding his decision to interdict or to recommend interdiction. This paper contends that naval interdiction has limited but effective application, possesses valid political qualities and will increasingly be a diplomatic tool utilized by the United States.
