Most experts agree that the United States' future conflicts will be of a regional vice global scale and will focus on a littoral region. A weapon of choice today is the diesel-electric submarine. In the littoral region, its stealth, size, and fire power, particularly against critical vulnerabilities such as sealift, can be devastating to any adversary. For many years, the U.S. concentrated on defeating the open ocean Soviet nuclear powered submarine. Operational protection in the littoral environment against a diesel submarine is significantly different from open ocean protection. While our new doctrine recognizes the diesel submarine threat of the littoral, our strategies to protect against it have not changed from the past.
