Defense Focus: Subs vs carriers — Part 3

Posted by Matt in April 11th, 2008

However, as respected defense analyst David Crane pointed out in an important article in Defense Review in November 2006, U.S. nuclear-powered super-carriers today don’t carry anything lie that armor. They rely on their own speed, the size of their protective support groups and their ability to stay far out in the ocean, launching their aircraft to strike from long distance, to keep them out of harms way.

But that may not always be enough. As Crane noted, in October 2006, a Chinese diesel-powered submarine was able to sneak up on a U.S. carrier task force and surface within torpedo and missile firing range of it before being detected.

Ironically, U.S. super-carriers are now far more vulnerable tot his kind of attack than they were a few years ago because, as Crane also warned, the U.S. Navy no longer uses its trusty old Lockheed Martin S-3B Viking aircraft in their traditional Anti-Submarine Warfare — ASW — role to protect the gigantic ships.
