Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present an analysis of the main contributions of Romanian sailors in the 1916 campaign,especially at the beginning of Romania’s entry into First World War, namely the participation in the Battle of Turtucaia.Through this analysis, I intend to highlight those ways of applying the operative art that had a decisive contribution to theoutcome of one outstanding military action on the southern front. The outcome of this action subsequently influenced the fateof the war. I have to underline the fact that the lessons learned from this joint action are today planning milestones for the jointoperations of the Romanian Armed Forces, the nucleus of the principles of the joint national and multinational actions.
