Submarine capabilities and conventional deterrence in Southeast Asia / Andersson, Jan Joel

Andersson, Jan Joel	Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Submarines are often described as a weapon of choice for the weak to deter the strong. There are today a growing number of countries operating submarines in Southeast Asia, but just how capable are they? Unable to match the large multi-mission navies of countries such as China, India or Japan, many of the smaller economies in Southeast Asia have invested in conventional submarines to deter their neighbours. This article draws on deterrence theory to analyse the significance of submarine proliferation in Southeast Asia on the strategic balance in the region. It systematically examines submarine maintenance and training issues and concludes that the challenges involved in building up and maintaining a submarine force are far greater than is commonly understood or acknowledged. The evidence presented in this article suggests that few countries in the region currently have the capability and strategy to convincingly make the case that their submarine force by themselves could be an effective deterrent. Although the proliferation of submarines in Southeast Asia may suggests a changing strategic balance in the region, the findings of this study underscore the dangers of conflating acquisition of equipment with capabilities in practice.
