Submarines rule the seas. We did that back in the 1980’s when I was a submarine sonar tech. The war games were so one sided.

Naval War games are a joke; where the sub is always in perfect position before the exercise begins. In a real war the sub would have never made it to the task force. It would have been tracked and sunk WAY before it got into that perfect position.

Also you don't send a CVBG into waters that are not 100% sanitized i.e. every sub accounted for. this may restrict the CVBG making it a tactical victory for the bad guys. It is a probability game, maybe you go in 80% possub waters if the mission is that important.
