I just ran across an excellent unclassified article about our ASW force:

I was surfing the net the other day and saw a youtube video of a small tsunami that occurred about two weeks ago at Pacific Beach, Wa:

I remembered that was a location of a “NAVFAC”, which was code word for the land based SONAR known as the SOSUS system.

So, I googled navfac pacific beach and that article was in one of the hits.

WOW.

Thanks for info.

Had not seen this report but it confirms what I have heard from other sources.

This pretty much explains why the Russians are expanding and modernizing their sub force - they are exploiting a huge vulnerability gap in our Anti Submarine defense systems.

Our antisubmarine net has essentially become non existent because what has not been dismantled over the years has become obsolete and worn out.

All our defense budget money has went to up armored humvees and Stryker Armored vehicles (many of which are now captured and in the hands of ISIS) instead of upgrading our aging strategic nuclear deterrent capability.

The one very bright spot, our extremely effective missile defense systems, have been all but killed over the last 6 years by Obama.

The system worked darn well and was ready to begin deployment to operational status just as Obama was sworn into office. One of the priorities of the Obama Administration has been to destroy our missile defense programs and when was the last time anyone has heard the term Missile Defense System mentioned.

I'd like to think that there is an upgraded and updated ASW system capability operating in the Black World , but it's not likely.

If the Russians have achieved operational superiority of their submarine based strategic nuclear forces we are screwed because their newest generation of MIRVed Submarine launched ballistic missiles are quite good.

We may never really get to have a chance to regret just how badly our country has been screwed by Obama, at least not for much longer that the 20-30 minutes it takes for a ballistic missile to reach it's target.
