Could the OSI model explain naval warfare?

Could the OSI model be adapted to analyse naval warfare?

Possibly, but the networking terms need careful checking before they are applied to naval warfare.

Using the networking OSI model as a layered framework could separate a naval system into interacting levels instead of treating combat as one undifferentiated problem. The idea has promise, although its usefulness depends on applying the technical terms correctly. Each term would need to be checked before naval functions were assigned to it. The computer-network model offers a structure for analysis, but it cannot be transferred unchanged.
