Our current mode of operating our sealift ships independently steaming unguarded to the area of conflict is analyzed in view of the present threats. The analysis demonstrates the vulnerability of our sealift ships to attack by submarines, cruise missiles, aircraft and mines. The analysis was performed utilizing various unclassified sources and concentrated on lessons to be learned from the Desert Storm operation. The present mode of operation was found to provide inadequate protection for sealift ships at departure sites, through choke points susceptible to mining or on open ocean transit to the area of operation. Convoy operations should be conducted as part of every major exercise involving overseas deployment of troops. Ready Reserve ships should be tested routinely. Minesweeping and air cover for convoys should be planned. During increased threat conditions our harbor entrances should be guarded.
