Shaping a Way Ahead for ASW: Key Questions and Dynamics
09/20/2020
Last week, 2nd Fleet held a couple of media events revolving around the Black Widow exercise which highlighted the evolving approach to anti-submarine warfare.
And those two media events and comments made associated with regard to the Black Widow exercise highlight a number of key questions and dynamics associated with the reshaping of ASW leveraging 21st technologies, skill sets and warfighting approaches up against 21st century threats.
The point can be put simply: even though ASW is about tracking, finding and potentially destroying underwater threats, what is being practices is not yesterday’s ASW skill sets against the Soviet Navy.
Let us start first with the opening statement by Vice Admiral Andrew Lewis, Commander, U.S. 2nd Fleet.
One must remember that 2nd Fleet was re-established in 2018.
