The Russians must be peeved with the ASW assets of eleven nations choking off Russian subs from exiting the Baltic into the Atlantic!

A suspected submarine spotted in the Stockholm archipelago a week after Sweden's extensive hunt for Russian underwater vessels last autumn was only a civilian boat, Sweden's Armed Forces have now said. But they remain convinced that the first sighting was a small foreign sub.

On October 31st 2014, retired naval officer Sven Olof Kviman snapped a picture of what looked like a 20-30 metre long, black submarine in waters just outside Lidingö in Stockholm. The incident has remained unconfirmed, but has been classed by the military as a “potential” submarine.

My sense is that ASW as a key Navy mission has been neglected since the end of the Cold War. For one example why, there’s the retirement of the S-3 Viking carrier-based ASW aircraft, with nothing to replace it.
