In the 4th century B.C. martial classic The Art of War, Sun Tzu mentions the value of secret agents to a sovereign "in the case of people you wish to assassinate."

Forrestal with four escorting destroyers, was steering a complicated course between Sicily and Crete, exercising its special martial arts. The Phantoms and Corsairs flew off to drill in interceptor tactics or to make practice runs with dummy bombs and missiles. Electronic-surveillance planes stuffed with microtechnology ranged far and wide on reconnaissance flights.
