Silencio Tarsier What is surface combatant? A surface combatant is a warship whose primary purpose is to engage the enemy directly while on the surface of the water, as opposed to aircraft carriers (who attack indirectly with their planes), air defense ships (perhaps), and submarines (who are often not on the surface). It is a rather loose term used only when describing the makeup of a fleet or navy.
