Anti-submarine patrol
An anti-submarine patrol involves armed ships, aircraft, or underwater vehicles actively searching for and tracking enemy submarines to prevent or mitigate underwater threats. These patrols use specialized sonar systems, radar, and other sensors to detect submarine movements and behaviors. Once identified, they can engage the target with depth charges, torpedoes, or other methods. The goal is to maintain navigation security, protect maritime assets, and ensure strategic dominance by identifying and neutralizing submarine threats before they can cause damage or disruption.
