Futurists believe that "the maritime world in 2030 will be almost unrecognizable due to the growing trend of globalization and the emergence of emerging countries, the demand for new resources and increasing consumers"; So the oceans will remain in political and national and international economic considerations and ultimately of great strategic importance. The future of the Navy will continue to be of strategic importance, with ocean space, economic challenges, legal disputes, climate change due to new geopolitical considerations, shifting power in the Indo-Pacific region, and the opening of the Arctic. Increased exploitation of marine resources and reliance on maritime territory to preserve population and support economic and social development leads to environmental tensions and political frictions. In view of the above, the authors argue in this article that for the reasons listed above, the naval position will become increasingly prominent in the future.
