Which in which role?

Both of 'em have a naval tradition (well, the NRE has
a shorter one, but it's no less strong).  

The problems faced by the land-based power would be
more dramatic than in the historical Punic War due to
the ability of FT ships to provide real-time
intelligence and fire support.	Rather like operating
without air power against the US military.
