The United States Navy is not prepared to operate effectively in the third world in threat conditions short of open conflict. In a hot war or open conflict the U.S. Navy possesses the combat power to overwhelm any third world country. In operations short of war however, operating conditions and political considerations leave even major warships vulnerable to attack from lethal third world weapons. U.S. Navy tactics and employment are predictable, thus exploitable. Weapons and detection systems are inadequate for this threat. Training is not realistic, stressful or effective. Recommendations to improve readiness for third world operations are provided but major effort is needed to focus action.
