The US Navy war gamed against these type of subs and did not win overwhelmingly - they then turned around and rented them from Sweden to develop new strategies. Of course staying away from the coast is a strategy.
- jacobush 7y agoI read "did not win overwhelmingly" was an understatement. Also small subs are good in littoral waters. The smaller, the better.
- Dahoon 7y ago>and did not win overwhelmingly That would be quite the understatement. If USS Ronald Reagan had been sunk in a real war the US would instantly have either lost all interest in further war or use the big red button.
- lakis 7y agoThere is also the big button that says "full conventional war". I believe that the US has way more options then retreat or full nuclear war.
