Abstract

"One should ask pointed, potent questions regarding the ability to conduct antisubmarine warfare (ASW) - but not in a transparent attempt to defend the force structure of any particular naval platform. Admiral A. H. Konetzni misses a terrific opportunity to frame the debate regarding this warfare specialty by engaging the reader in a series of rhetorical questions that are more appropriate to a risk analysis of a potential submarine force reduction. His discussion yields a palpable "us-versus-them' sentiment that does little to move the United States Navy ahead in this field."
