US carriers in danger!

The advantage in ASW is decidedly in favor of the submarine. Surface and air units are good at prosecuting a submerged contact once found, but the problem lies in detection. A CVBG clipping along at 30kts, even 10 kts, makes a hell of a lot of noise thus putting the submarine at a tactical advantage. That's why a CVBG has a submarine escort positioned ahead of it.
I remember training with our own ASW forces. We were restricted in our water space and they were pretty much told where we were from the get go. Even then we managed to "sink" them and that was on an Ohio SSBN!

When they know where you are, it may be easy, during war, it take a lot of luck to get a course.

Let's hope that the rules are deployed fairly, and U32 is given ample opportunity to prove her worth.

Good hunting U32!
