Through the ages, weather has been the mariner's greatest ally and most ferocious adversary. Seafarers have always been mindful of the weather, good and bad, and the sailors of the U.S. Navy are no exception. In many ways, the Navy is more sensitive to environmental conditions today than it was a generation ago, even though the platforms and sensors are far more capable than they have ever been. This seeming contradiction results from the advancing nature of the threat the Navy must counter. Today's threat is faster, more lethal, and quieter with respect to the environment. Stealth technology and submarine-quieting efforts complicate efforts to detect an enemy and to protect our own ships, planes, submarines, and people.
