blockade, in
warfare at sea a declaration published by a belligerent power forbidding seaborne trade with an enemy. Originally, the days of the sailing warship and the short-range gun, blockade was virtually synonymous with investment, a
squadron patrolling off an enemy port to prevent all movement in and out. With the invention of the long-range gun, and mines and torpedoes, such close blockade became no longer a feasible operation of war. Instead, a distant blockade took its place, in which seaborne trade with a declared enemy was intercepted many kilometres out at sea from the blockaded coast. Blockade is universally admitted to be a belligerent right to which neutral countries are bound to submit.
