antisubmarine warfare operations

Antisubmarine warfare (ASW) operations are military efforts aimed at detecting, tracking, and neutralizing enemy submarines that pose a threat to naval and commercial vessels. These operations involve using specialized ships, aircraft, and submarines equipped with sonar, radar, and other technologies to locate submerged threats. ASW tactics may include deploying depth charges, torpedoes, and advanced weaponry. The goal is to ensure maritime security by preventing submarines from disrupting shipping lanes or attacking naval forces, thereby maintaining control over strategic waterways. ASW is a critical component of naval defense strategies in modern warfare.
