- In naval warfare during the Age of Sail, raking fire was cannon fire directed parallel to the long axis of an enemy ship from ahead (in front of the ship) or astern (behind the ship). Although each shot was directed against a smaller profile compared to firing at the target ship's broadside and thus more likely to miss the target ship to one side or the other, an individual cannon shot that hit would pass through more of the ship, thereby increasing damage to the hull, sails, cannon and crew. In addition, the targeted ship would have fewer (if any) guns able to return fire. Historically, a stern rake tended to be more damaging than a bow rake because the shots were less likely to be deflected by the curved and strengthened bow, and because disabling the exposed rudder at the stern would render the target unable to steer and thus manoeuvre. However, achieving a position to rake a single enemy ship was usually very difficult unless the opponent was unable to manoeuvre due to damage to its sails or rudder; it was easier if the enemy ship was required to maintain its position in a line of battle.

- Em guerra naval, tiro de enfiada (em inglês raking fire) é o disparo dirigido paralelo ao eixo longo de um navio inimigo. Ou seja, alvejando as naus ao comprido. Embora cada tiro seja dirigido contra o perfil de um alvo menor ao invés de se atirar no costado do navio e, portanto, mais propenso a errar o navio alvo tanto para um lado quanto para o outro, um único tiro de canhão que atinge o alvo irá passar por uma parte maior do navio, aumentando assim os danos ao casco, as velas, e a tripulação. Um tiro de popa causa mais danos do que um tiro de proa porque os tiros não são desviados pela proa curva (e reforçada). Nas batalhas entre navios à vela, onde a maioria dos canhões se encontram ao longo do costado do navio, uma das maiores preocupações era evitar receber tiros de enfiada. Assim, como as áreas da proa e da popa de um navio eram altamente vulneráveis, a tática de tiro de enfiada era o desejo furtivo de cada capitão em batalha. (pt)
