Given that the psychology of limited engagements, posturing, and constraint to force are similar to a warm conflict (both sides claiming self-defense), overall could probably be fit into a modified definition of a 'warm conflict', whereas the pot shots and small arms are to include their ship borne equivalents albeit the resource cost considerably more.
Very interesting indeed and nice reading. Underscores the benefit of a strong navy.
