For the old Sub Command salts...

There was a website that had default maps for various parts of the world. Indian Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, the Med, etc. All of the important ocean features were labeled and some other ones had lighthouses, oil rigs, etc.

Where did this site go?

what about when a special naval exercise turns into WW3 ?

you could have russians testing a new missile system and they are being moniterd by the americans and the russians get annoyed and sink the american boat which in turn ncreates a back lash and america send a fleet to come and destroy russian navy.

so the mission could be set in the bearnts sea with three kilos and two akulas many surface ships and planes also american ships subs and plane giving it a good battling out

how about that?

You can actually download a lot of the charts that they use for satellite navigation from the national geospatial intelligence agency, but you need a viewer for the files. They only have the CONUS available online, though.

I found http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/index.html very useful when creating missions. It provides data about the naval and air force bases of different countries, often with geographical coordinates.

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.

The navy puts out periodicals for it's various communities.

Surface Warfare for surface warfare
Undersea Warfare for submarine and undersea warfare
Naval Aviation for the flyboys

occaisionally one can find an interesting scenario, hypothetical or historical, and discussion associated with it.
