WWIII has been going on for a while, its just not really affecting north America or western Europe yet but Israel/Gaza/Iran, Yemen, Syria, Ukraine/Russia, and all the conflicts in Africa are 100% connected. Not an official definition or anything, but I’d say if a war affects 3 out of 6 inhabited continents it counts as a world war.
i’d say open sea predation by rivalling armadas on the other’s shipping supply lines and generally more a focus on interrupting the global infrastructure of the opponent would be a characteristic sign of a world war.
now this is also contentious, when does an interruption count? only when it’s done through violence?

We’re stopping and confiscating and blowing up ships and boats all over the globe. Seems like we’re being awfully predatory at sea already.
exactly!
