Crossing the T: Naval Warfare "Crossing the T" is a naval warfare tactic that aims to maximize the firepower of a fleet while minimizing exposure to enemy fire. This maneuver involves arranging ships so that they form a "T" shape with the opposing fleet, allowing the ships on one leg of the "T" to concentrate their fire on the enemy while presenting a smaller target profile. By bringing their broadside weapons to bear against the enemy's bow, the engaging fleet can deliver a devastating attack.
