Summary/Abstract |
An antisubmarine warfare doctrine adopted U.S. Navy-wide nearly a decade ago still applies, now more than ever.
During the Cold War, the U.S. Navy (particularly the submarine force) specialized in and excelled at antisubmarine warfare against the Soviet Union. But with the demise of the Soviets, ASW was put on the back-burner as an activity irrelevant to modern conflict. Over a decade passed before submarines would again be considered a serious threat to national security. During that time the nature of the submarine threat changed, so when the Navy "rediscovered" ASW, it learned that traditional, sensor-based methods of fighting against submarines, while important, could no longer ensure victory. To respond to this new threat, a new approach emerged in 2005, one that became known as "Full-Spectrum ASW." Quickly adopted as Navy doctrine, the concept pursued a more holistic approach to solving the submarine problem. This first-ever published treatise on the concept should explain how the doctrine was developed, in the hopes that a more thorough understanding of the concept will lead to better implementation.

Summary/Abstract |
The present squeeze on military funding is not the first such measure, nor will it likely be the last. The country had little trust in a standing army, and the support provided in time.

Summary/Abstract |
An important reason that the Navy relies on the analytic community is to help it anticipate change and provide recommendations on how to deal with it. One of the ways we do this is through analyzing past events and the Navy's responses to them, teasing out what worked and what didn't, and then seeing if there are lessons to be learned for the present and future. Often there are, yielding recommendations to Navy decision-makers and their staffs.

Summary/Abstract |
The headline announced: "Edmond J. Moran is Dead at 96: Admiral Led Tug Fleet on D-Day." It marked the passing of one of the most influential figures in 20th-century U.S. shipping history. 1 The U.S. Naval Institute conducted a series of interviews with Rear Admiral Moran in 1977 and published his oral history in 2004. 2 In it, he traced his childhood in Brooklyn, New York, and his joining the Moran Towing Company in 1915 as a teenager. He worked on board the tugs during summer vacations and then launched a 69-year career that would take him from office boy, to president, to chairman of the Board of Directors. The company had been founded in 1860 by his grandfather, Michael, an Irish immigrant who had had his start in the United States driving mules on the Erie Canal.

Summary/Abstract |
In a new age of ultra-quiet undersea acoustics, it's high time for the U.S. Navy to revitalize a signature Cold War capability.
In early 1981, a ready-alert P-3C Orion launched from Naval Air Station Bermuda with a crew of 12 officers and enlisted men. An hour earlier the crew had been comfortably asleep as their 24-hour-alert shift was winding down. Now they pulled themselves together as their Orion clawed for altitude, arcing northeast toward the vastness of the North Atlantic Ocean. During the scramble to get airborne there had only been time for a hasty briefing, but they understood the sudden urgency: A Soviet submarine was nearby
