The ASW Threat in the Littoral

Abstract

U.S. Navy doctrine relies heavily on the ability to operate forward in the littoral regions to support the projection of power from the sea to influence events ashore. Forward deployed naval forces are often called upon to establish the critical connection between peacetime operations and conflict. As existing and potential adversaries exploit technological advances, the Navy's freedom of action will be challenged. As these adversaries acquire better weapons, U.S. forces become more vulnerable.
