Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the legitimate interest that the United States has in protecting lifelines across the sea. It briefly describes the importance of those avenues of trade and defense, and focuses on the U.S. fleet in the Pacific and the United States' most likely and formidable opponent, the Soviet Pacific fleet. The chapter also describes the current thinking on how force can best be applied to ensure that allied merchant shipping and its vital cargo are delivered safely after a review of the sea lanes, and of the U.S. naval forces and the Soviet Pacific fleets.
