Abstract
Rapid development of potential threats to U.S. Navy control of the seas vary from advanced submarine capability to surface and subsurface launched antiship missiles with large strike range. Our sea control capability is challenged both in conventional submarine warfare and task force survivability. Concurrently, our Navy is transitioning to the new multipurpose CV concept placing deck space at a greater premium than ever. Joining the fleet in 1974, the S-3A will provide a new dimension in airborne sea control. This new weapon system and its present and future ability to deal with this environment are described.
