Navy Chief Says Seas Controlled, Yet Threat Looms
Admiral Arleigh Burke told the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee that the United States now commands the seas but faces an uncertain future. He warned a future war could cost ships and take time, a war of attrition. Rear Admiral Weakley described a warning 24 hour alert for allied sea communications amid Russia’s large submarine fleet, with about 500 subs, building 100 yearly. The U.S. has 10 subs, building 5 to 10 yearly, and no evidence of nuclear powered subs.
