I would appreciate if someone can tell me the meaning of "blue water". The text where this expression appears is about a military matter. It says that USA government is not afraid of the Chinese navy, because bla bla bla...... Thenks in advance

Hello! This may help to understand the context:
http://www.ser2000.org.ar/articulos-...10/mariano.htm

Los �ltimos lineamientos de la Armada y los Marines, en tanto, se condensan en el documento conjunto "From the Sea", de cuyo contenido se desprende que las fuerzas navales deben prepararse para operar y ejercer el control del mar en aguas costeras ("brown water Navy"), orientaci�n �sta que entra�a un cambio fundamental respecto al tradicional �nfasis en el combate en alta mar ("blue water Navy"). Tales operaciones en aguas costeras en respuesta a crisis y conflictos puntuales abarcar�n desde el combate, donde el objetivo es la victoria, hasta la defensa de los intereses americanos en misiones de paz (31).

Cheers!

I agree with Marlene: blue water is "en alta mar".......far away from the coast.....I hope this will help you!!!!

Yep, I agree... "en alta mar" it's a good option, and I think "mar abierto" could also work.

Blue water es mar abierto, lejos de la costa, por ejemplo, los barcos navegan en mar abierto.
Suerte.
