The hypothetical Morocco-Algeria conflict is expected here to centre on land operations. Naval forces are envisaged staying close to shore. Interference with major shipping lanes would introduce the interests of larger naval powers and complicate the conflict. This is a conditional scenario, with no detailed assessment of either navy's forces or a prediction that war will occur.
