ARLINGTON, Va. — The commander of U.S. Navy submarine forces said his forces are training for high-end operations to counter the present and future peer competitors.
“Over the next 15 years, our emphasis must be on high-end combat in deep water,” Vice Adm. Joseph Tofalo, commander, Submarine Forces, said Nov. 1 at the Naval Submarine League symposium.
Addressing the symposium’s theme of “getting faster,” Tofalo said that “Russia and China are working hard and fast” to improve their naval capabilities.
