Analysis of Losses in ASW Defence of Shipping Campaigns
Abstract
Hierarchies of models have been developed that can be used to describe and analyse the losses resulting from large-scale ASW defense-of- shipping campaigns. The models take account of many different categories of merchant ships and submarines operating in different geographical areas. The effects of direct and indirect protection, submarine deployments, cycle time, endurance, weapon load, and duration of attack are included. The hierarchy of models provides a convenient means for determining where and why losses differ; it is also useful for conducting sensitivity analyses and appreciating how measures of effectiveness at the tactical level are related to those at the campaign level.
