ASW (Anti-submarine warfare) operations

Anti-submarine warfare (ASW) refers to military operations designed to detect, track, and neutralize enemy submarines. This involves the use of various tools and tactics, including sonar systems, patrol aircraft, and naval vessels equipped with anti-submarine weapons. ASW is crucial for maintaining maritime security, as submarines can pose significant threats to naval and commercial shipping. The goal of ASW operations is to protect vessels and ensure safe navigation by identifying and neutralizing underwater threats before they can attack. Through advanced technology and coordinated efforts, naval forces seek to maintain control over critical sea areas.
