If it's an all out type, the Japanese would've sent a Hyuga-class instead of Izumo. One phrase that I noticed: "Royal Navy’s expertise and experience". Wasn't the Invincible-class originally designed as an ASW carrier/cruiser? We can clearly see who benefited the most from this exercise.IRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08531890633171591779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-40184460913610769942019-01-03T19:54:31.268-08:002019-01-03T19:54:31.268-08:00Are.

But much depended on the force-multiplying capability of the Japanese-US laid ASW SOSUS/IUSS array<br /><br />which may be able to easily hear the US submarine's reactor. <br /><br />For the array's position see https://gentleseas.blogspot.com/2015/09/how-to-trap-chinese-dragon-seawebs.htmlPetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624742078679760819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579907756656776056.post-49584258195469710022019-01-03T19:11:49.549-08:002019-01-03T19:11:49.549-08:00A new idea for ASW.

Small, DE 1500 ton ships solely dedicated to ASW can work out to 100 miles. Ships could be paired for an active decoy session. <br /><br />One decoy and one shooter would entice an enemy sub to launch a torpedo at one ship. While the target ship is dealing with the torpedo via anti torpedo torpedo (ATT) the other ship ship can begin locating the sub. <br /><br />A sound recording of a Virginia class sub at 30 knots can be played underwater at 600ft by a towed sonar array for 5 to 6 minutes, just enough time to get an enemy subs attention. The decoy ship would be moving slowly, if at all trying to locate an inbound sub. The shooter would be 8 to 10 miles away and completely silent. Roles can be instantly reversed if a shot is taken at the shooter. <br /><br />Also, a surface ship like a 'Burke could be recorded at about 25 knots and played through a hull mounted speaker. Again, about 5 to 6 minutes of playback should be enough. I would not use this method too frequently, perhaps 3 times in 24 hours.<br /><br />Calling in coyotes to a decoy is far more efficient than walking around the country-side looking for coyotes. <br /><br />If we want to be ready for the next conflict, we need to get some assets and training underway. <br /><br />If we are already doing this, I apologize for wasting everyones's time.

Seems a bit fast to do a whole lot of training...why not a week?<br /><br />With so few assets, how scripted does it have to be? It's a big area to go out there looking for a SSN with so few assets....is it even worth the "training"?<br /><br />USN found a LPD and a Burke to go to Chile for humanitarian training but couldn't find a ship or 2 or 3 to train with the Brits and Japanese? Not sure if our priorities are right....<br /><br />So is nowadays an ASW task force a helo destroyer and a P-8? Escort task force is an LCS or 2. Maybe a carrier task force is just 1 carrier and 3 escorts now too....scary.NICOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14567491909555759918noreply@blogger.com
