Yep——have either read them or the eqivalent as I am a member of the USNI and stay current on Navy and other news-
How effective is the Carrier and its handful of F-35’s in the ASW sector as compared to the P-8’s and ASW Frigates?
if the Russians elect to challenge us on the East Coast of the US….might not you find yourself with pressing needs in your own home waters and with a max effort you can put to sea two carrier based task forces but only for a relatively short period.
Numbers or the lack of them does figure into the metrics.
The Russians have made improvements in the quality of the Subs over the years and do pose a threat but it would be more a Sub to Sub fight that will decide the outcomeI am thinking aided by ASW surface or ASW air assets.
You notice our Maine Corps has been talking about it having a role to play in the ASW business.
Traditional ASW forces must a bit like Jimmy Durante.
