ASW

ASW, or Anti-Submarine Warfare, refers to military operations designed to detect, track, and neutralize enemy submarines. This is crucial for maintaining naval superiority and safeguarding maritime interests. ASW employs various methods, including the use of ships, aircraft, sonar systems, and underwater drones to locate submarines. Once identified, strategies may include using torpedoes or depth charges to destroy or disable the submarine. Effective ASW is vital for protecting naval fleets and ensuring the security of shipping lanes, especially in areas where submarines pose significant threats to national and international maritime operations.
