A country’s top-level political

and military plan

Strategy

4

National Military Strategy of the

United States includes three concepts:

• Peacetime Engagement

• Deterrence and Conflict Prevention

• Fight and Win

5

Peacetime

Engagement

We deploy our

forces overseas

and around the

world in peacetime

to promote

economic and

political stability.

5

6

Steadiness or order in the

international or political realm

Stability

7

The presence of American ships encourages

free trade and peaceful connections among

nations by ensuring the security of the seas.7

8

• Key goal of our military forces

• Discourage and stop acts of aggression

Deterrence is placing combat power

where it cannot be ignored so a

potential enemy is less likely to

become hostile for fear of reprisal.

8

9

Prevention of war by instilling

fear in political enemies

Deterrence

10

“Si vis pacem, para bellum.”—

a Latin adage used by the

Romans meaning, “If you seek

peace, prepare for war.”

Trivia:

11

FIGHT and WIN

“Fight and Win” underlies all military

force efforts to be combat ready at all

times by maintaining a permanent state

of readiness.

Sea Control

• Control use of the seas for the

United States and our allies.

• Deny use of the seas to a

potential enemy.23

Submarines

Bonefish (SS 582)

Skate (SSN 578)

In the 1950’s, nuclear

powered submarines

began to replace

diesel powered

Submarines.

The diesels couldn’t

stay submerged as

long and were prone

to detection when

surfaced.

138

139

USS Norfolk

(SSN 714)

140

Attack Submarines

(SSN)

The mission of nuclear attack submarines is

to locate and destroy enemy ships and

submarines. Their other missions range from

intelligence collection to special forces and

supply delivery to rescue and recon. They are

the primary defense against enemy submarine

attack.140

141

Nuclear power turned the submersible

surface ship into a true submarine that no

longer requires frequent replenishment

of fuel and supplies. The first SSN, Nautilus,

traveled 62,000 miles without refueling, and

Triton went 83 days submerged while

traveling around the globe.141

142

SSN 23Jimmy Carter

Today’s submarines are even more

self-sustaining with:

• air-revitalization equipment

changing the air

• oxygen extraction from outside

seawater142

143

The concept of technical superiority over

numerical superiority was and still is the

driving force in American submarine

development. 143

144

Many developing countries have

submarines able to evade many surface

systems. While other methods can counter

this threat, “the best way to find a sub is

with another sub.”

144

145

The USS Seawolf (SSN 21) completed

its initial sea trials in July 1996.145

146

mission of the SSBN since its inception

in 1960. It is the U.S.’s most survivable

nuclear strike platform.

154

155155

USS Nebraska

(SSGN 739)

They represent the most survivable

nuclear-strike platform in the US military. A

single SSBN could deliver several nuclear

payloads on an enemy, even if all other US

airborne or land-based missiles were

destroyed.

The Navy currently has two types of

Mine Warfare Ships designed to clear

mines from vital waterways, the Mines

Countermeasure Ship (MCM) and the

Minehunter, Coastal (MHC).

Mine-Warfare Ships

168

169


The MCM uses both sonar and video

systems to locate mines moored to or on

the sea floor, cable cutters to cut the

mine’s moorings, and remote control

detonating devices to destroy the mines.169

Amphibious Warfare is an attack by naval

forces and combat troops launched from the

sea. Amphibious ships transport the

troops, their weapons, and supplies to the

hostile shores.

Amphibious Warfare

175

176

Usually begins with surface ships and planes

bombing hostile shores. Then amphibious

ships bring in ground forces while landing

craft and helicopters move those forces from

ship to shore to quickly capture or deny the

enemy use of land.

battalion by helicopters, landing craft,

amphibious vehicles, and combinations

of these methods.

Amphibious Assault Ship

(LHA)

USS Belleau Wood

(LHA 3)

179

180

With its five-inch guns and point-defense

missiles, the LHA can provide limited

shore bombardment and self-defense, but

it relies mainly on other ships for defense.180

USS Belleau Wood

181

The LHD is designed to embark, transport,

and land 2,000 troops and their equipment

by means of transport helicopters in

vertical envelopment.


(LHD)

USS Bataan

(LHD 5)

181

182

The Navy calls this technique of using

helicopters instead of landing vehicles to

put troops on the beach vertical

envelopment. This method is much more

effective than the older deployment

methods used during World War II.

USS Bataan

(LHD 5)

182

183

Vertical Envelopment

184

Vertical envelopment allows the landing

troops and not the defenders to choose

the areas of engagement, simultaneously

making the process of amphibious

assault easier and coastal defense

significantly more difficult.

Conclusion

National Military Strategy

1. Peaceful engagement

2. Deterrence and conflict prevention

3. Fight and win

Navy seeks to fulfill it’s mission through

1. Strategic deterrence

2. Sea control

3. Projection of power ashore

4. Naval presence

USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Battle Group257

258 USS George Washington (CVN-73) Battle Group

The Navy operates a wide range of ships

to accomplish its mission.

The aircraft carrier is the center of the

modern battle group.

In peace or tension, it projects “forward

presence.”

In war, carriers can fulfill their mission

before the enemy can spot them.

Under the sea, the SSBNs are the

backbone of strategic deterrence.
