in the United States Navy surface combatants (except carrier) faced with the reduction of the background, the strength of the Pacific submarine force is not increasing rather than reducing. According to the United States “Honolulu Star Advertiser newspaper reported on March 3, in the next two fiscal years, the Navy plans on the basis of the 19 submarines at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and then the deployment of five new boats, which including two Virginia-class attack submarine. The outside world noticed, after nearly 10 years of unremitting efforts, the United States has achieved a great shift of the main attack submarine forces from the Atlantic to the Pacific strategic. Some analysts pointed out, declaring that “the U.S. military and political high-level high-profile return to Asia” and the introduction of the new military strategy in the context of the U.S. Navy move aimed at deterring China’s intention is self-evident.

attack submarines get together in Hawaii

Pearl Harbor Naval Base is the headquarters of the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Fleet. Pacific Fleet’s main task is to take on the United States west coast sea defense and the Pacific theater, the central theater of maritime combat. The fleet under the jurisdiction of the big ship of the water, aviation, submarines, and Marine Corps Command, Submarine Forces Command has operational command.

Submarine Forces Command, also located in Hawaii, the force currently has four major submarine base, which are located in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, San Diego, California, Washington state’s Bangor, and Guam. Pacific Fleet submarine force, in addition to the Bangor nuclear submarine base in the 10 Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine, the U.S. strategic nuclear strike force, the deployment of more than 20 naval base in Pearl Harbor and the Pacific and Western Pacific Guam Apra Naval Base The ship “Los Angeles” class, “the Virginia-class attack submarine, is the main force of the United States Navy in the Pacific theater, the central theater underwater combat platforms.

in Hawaii 19 attack submarines, “Los Angeles”-mod accounted for 17. In July 2009, “Virginia” class “Texas” official stationed in Pearl Harbor Naval Base, marking the world’s most advanced attack submarine, the official start into the Pacific. “Virginia” class is the U.S. dedicated to cope with the post-Cold War threats and development of next-generation attack submarine, the U.S. Navy’s first near-shore submarine.

strengthen the attack submarine force of the Pacific, the United States in 2006 introduced the “Quadrennial Defense Review Report on the important content. According to the reporting requirements, at the end of 2010, 60 percent of the U.S. Navy nuclear attack submarines to be deployed to the Pacific Fleet. The report concluded that the face of the Asia-Pacific countries to vigorously develop the submarine force, “the threat posed by” the U.S. military is necessary to the deployment of additional nuclear attack submarines in the region to strengthen the anti-submarine warfare capability in the region.

Under the original plan, the U.S. Navy to purchase 30 “Virginia” class nuclear submarine, if deployed 60% of the overall requirements of the Asia-Pacific to implement, then the future will have 20 class boats stationed in the Asia-Pacific.

to be used for man-mark Chinese submarines

increase the Hawaii Pearl Harbor Naval Base, “the Virginia-class attack submarine number, was originally a U.S. Navy focus on strength transferred to the part of the Pacific Plan. In fact, in addition to attack submarines in recent years, the United States through “nuclear change permanent, four Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine converted into cruise missile submarines deployed to Guam.

U.S. Navy has repeatedly stressed that strengthening the attack submarine deployments in the Pacific region in order to deal with North Korea, Iran and other countries, has a diesel-powered quiet submarines, while preventing the key transportation hub and near the sea routes of the Pacific cruising up to 180 foreign submarines, military observers generally believe that their real intention is clearly against China and Russia. U.S. military doctrine explicitly provides that: the primary task of the attack submarine anti-submarine, especially hunting enemy strategic nuclear submarines. Accordingly is not difficult to conclude that the main deployment in Hawaii and Guam, “Los Angeles” class, “Virginia-class attack submarines, its primary task is to man-mark strategic nuclear submarines, and the Asia-Pacific region except the United States, only Russia and China are currently equipped with a strategic nuclear submarines.

In fact, two years ago, the Federation of American Scientists has published a report speculated that: The Chinese navy has also fielded a number of “Gem” class (NATO reporting name, the Chinese military from not admit) that the new strategic nuclear submarines, the boat quiet performance and ocean-going sailing ability is greatly enhanced and improved version of the JL-2 intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of carrying, the United States must make early preparations.

Seen in this light, the rapid development of China’s submarine force has become the United States over the years the hype of the “China threat theory” and to strengthen the deployment of attack submarines in the Asia-Pacific region is an important excuse. Military experts pointed out that the United States has now issued a new military strategy designed to suppress the Chinese, while the pace in order to implement the strategy, the U.S. attack submarine in the Pacific Ocean out equipment will further accelerate the

Virginia-class attack submarine by the U.S. Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics Corporation jointly developed. The class of boat displacement of 7800 tons, length 114.91 m, 10.36 m wide, submerged speed of 25. Its main armament for the MK48-5 torpedoes, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, Tomahawk cruise missiles, small anti-submarine torpedoes and frogmen transport the boat. The boat not only the implementation of the traditional ocean-going anti-submarine, anti-ship warfare, but also can be used for a variety of operations in the shallow water environment, including the attack/defense style laying mines, minesweeping, special forces delivery/retracement to support the fleet of aircraft carrier battle intelligence gathering and surveillance, land attack, called the set of strategic and tactical tasks in one of the underwater super killer.//
