Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this unique book examines the role of anti-submarine warfare in the new U.S. Navy maritime strategy. The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) has called for the development of a new Maritime Strategy. Critical to this new strategy is the need for robust Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capabilities across the entire ASW spectrum. Without such capabilities, the U.S. Navy will not be able to meet its current or future global challenges. Possessing technologically advanced ASW capabilities and having well trained professionals will ensure that the Navy has the continued ability to provide global access to U.S. joint and allied fighting forces anywhere in the world. An analysis of past maritime strategies with their ASW components, will reveal some common threads; dominance of the seas, ensuring global freedom of access to the seas, and the ability to project power from those seas. The requirement to control the seas and ensure access to them will not change. The Navy's past maritime strategies have always promoted this concept. Anti-Submarine Warfare should play a major role in our new Maritime Strategy in order to maintain these capabilities.
