Hanging the 'shield' over the sea base

Article Abstract:

Seabasing concept can be described as an enhanced ability to place persistent, operational joint military power at sea to enhance deployment and employment time so that those forces can project and sustain combat power in the absence of available shore bases. The recent deployments of sea-based forces in South Asia demonstrates the versatility of these forward deployed capabilities as they were able to respond quickly to provide assistance to the victims of the devastating tsunami.
