Strategic Antisubmarine Warfare and Naval Strategy by Tom Stefanick

A bit dry sometimes, but none the less comprehensive in it's details. Describes the hunt for Soviet SSBNs in their bastions. Discusses the role of area surveillance (SOSUS, SURTASS), maritime patrol aircraft, SSNs and surface ships. Additionally, it vaguely describes the possible role of nuclear weapons in ASW.

The real gem in this book is the appendices, though, which go into all the gorey details of acoustics, engineering and oceanography pointing out exactly what about the problem was so difficult.
