A wartime application of the basic principle of "hit and run" using a superior navy to almost guarantee the survival of the "runner." It is an almost pirate-like tactic of quick, successive coastline assaults where the attacker never stays on land for a longer duration of time than what is necessary. An amphibious assault is made and the attacker retreats back into the sea before the enemy has a chance to make a decisive land assault on them, a situation the attacker is trying to avoid.
