Proponents/nns of/in single/ap elements/nns tend/vb to/to ensure/vb predominance/nn of/in that/dt element/nn without/in determining/vbg if/cs it/pps is/bez justified/vbn ,/, and/cc the/at element/nn with/in the/at most/ql enthusiastic/jj and/cc vociferous/jj proponents/nns has/hvz assumed/vbn the/at greatest/jjt importance/nn ./.
Consequently/rb ,/, air/nn ,/, surface/nn ,/, and/cc submarine/jj elements/nns overshadow/vb the/at mine/nn ,/, fixed/vbn installations/nns ,/, and/cc intelligence/nn ./.
These/dts have/hv sought/vbn more/ap and/cc more/ap of/in what/wdt they/ppss have/hv ./.
Each/dt seems/vbz to/to strive/vb for/in elimination/nn of/in the/at necessity/nn for/in the/at others/nns ./.
This/dt ,/, despite/in postwar/jj experience/nn demonstrating/vbg that/cs all/abn elements/nns are/ber necessarily/rb mutually/rb supporting/vbg ./.
Thus/rb ,/, the/at most/ql productive/jj areas/nns are/ber not/* necessarily/rb the/at most/ql stressed/vbn ./.
This/dt is/bez stated/vbn to/to emphasize/vb the/at necessity/nn for/in an/at over-all/jj concept/nn of/in submarine/jj defense/nn ,/, one/cd which/wdt would/md provide/vb positions/nns of/in relative/jj importance/nn to/in ASW/nn elements/nns based/vbn on/in projected/vbn potentialities/nns ./.
Then/rb the/at enthusiasm/nn and/cc energy/nn of/in all/abn elements/nns can/md be/be channeled/vbn to/to produce/vb cumulative/jj progress/nn toward/in a/at common/jj objective/nn ./.
An/at over-all/jj concept/nn would/md have/hv other/ap advantages/nns ./.
It/pps would/md allow/vb presentation/nn to/in the/at public/nn of/in a/at unified/vbn approach/nn ./.
Now/rb the/at problem/nn is/bez presented/vbn piecemeal/rb and/cc sometimes/rb contradictorily/rb ./.
While/cs one/cd element/nn is/bez announcing/vbg progress/nn ,/, another/dt is/bez delineating/vbg its/pp$ problems/nns ./.
The/at result/nn can/md only/rb be/be confusion/nn in/in the/at public/nn mind/nn ./.
A/at unified/vbn concept/nn can/md serve/vb as/cs a/at guide/nn to/in budgeting/vbg and/cc ,/, if/cs public/nn support/nn is/bez gained/vbn ,/, will/md command/vb Congressional/jj-tl support/nn ./.
Industry's/nn$ main/jjs criticism/nn of/in the/at Navy's/nn$-tl antisubmarine/jj effort/nn is/bez that/cs it/pps cannot/md* determine/vb where/wrb any/dti one/cd company/nn or/cc industry/nn can/md apply/vb its/pp$ skills/nns and/cc know-how/nn ./.
Lacking/vbg guidance/nn ,/, industry/nn picks/vbz its/pp$ own/jj areas/nns ./.
The/at result/nn ,/, coupled/vbn with/in the/at salesmanship/nn for/in which/wdt American/jj industry/nn is/bez famous/jj ,/, is/bez considerable/jj expenditure/nn of/in funds/nns and/cc efforts/nns in/in marginal/jj areas/nns ./.
An/at over-all/jj concept/nn will/md guide/vb industry/nn where/wrb available/jj talents/nns and/cc facilities/nns will/md yield/vb greatest/jjt dividends/nns ./.
Therefore/rb ,/, a/at broad/jj concept/nn of/in over-all/jj submarine/jj defense/nn is/bez needed/vbn for/in co-ordination/nn of/in the/at Navy's/nn$-tl efforts/nns ,/, for/in a/at logical/jj presentation/nn to/in the/at public/nn ,/, for/in industry's/nn$ guidance/nn ,/, and/cc as/cs a/at basis/nn for/in a/at program/nn to/in the/at Congress/np ./.

Russia/np possesses/vbz the/at preponderance/nn of/in submarines/nns in/in the/at world/nn ,/, divided/vbn between/in her/pp$ various/ap fleets/nns ./.

Logically/rb ,/, then/rb ,/, the/at first/od principle/nn of/in the/at plan/nn must/md be/be that/cs it/pps is/bez not/* rigidly/rb oriented/vbn toward/in any/dti geographical/jj area/nn ./.

Destruction/nn of/in the/at enemy's/nn$ building/nn and/cc base/nn complex/nn ,/, however/rb ,/, requires/vbz attacks/nns on/in enemy/nn territory/nn ,/, which/wdt is/bez possible/jj only/rb in/in event/nn of/in all-out/jj hostilities/nns ./.
In/in transit/nn or/cc on/in station/nn ,/, it/pps may/md not/* be/be possible/jj to/to attack/vb the/at submarines/nns until/cs commission/nn of/in an/at overt/jj act/nn ./.
The/at Communists/nns-tl are/ber adept/jj at/in utilizing/vbg hostilities/nns short/jj of/in general/jj war/nn and/cc will/md do/do so/rb whenever/wrb it/pps is/bez to/in their/pp$ advantage/nn ./.
Therefore/rb the/at second/od principle/nn of/in the/at plan/nn must/md be/be that/cs ,/, while/cs providing/vbg for/in all-out/jj hostilities/nns ,/, its/pp$ effectiveness/nn is/bez not/* dependent/jj on/in general/jj war/nn ./.

It/pps is/bez a/at war/nn of/in attrition/nn ,/, of/in single/ap actions/nns ,/, of/in an/at exchange/nn of/in losses/nns ./.
This/dt exchange/nn must/md result/vb in/in our/pp$ ending/vbg up/rp with/in some/dti effective/jj units/nns ./.
Initially/rb ,/, having/hvg fewer/ap units/nns of/in some/dti elements/nns --/-- especially/rb submarines/nns --/-- than/cs the/at opponent/nn ,/, our/pp$ capabilities/nns need/vb to/to be/be sufficiently/ql greater/jjr than/cs theirs/pp$$ ,/, so/cs that/cs the/at exchange/nn will/md be/be in/in our/pp$ favor/nn ./.
Therefore/rb ,/, the/at third/od principle/nn of/in the/at plan/nn must/md be/be that/cs it/pps does/doz not/* depend/vb for/in effectiveness/nn on/in engagement/nn by/in the/at same/ap types/nns ,/, unless/cs at/in an/at assured/vbn favorable/jj exchange/nn rate/nn ./.

The/at next/ap developments/nns will/md probably/rb be/be in/in weaponry/nn ./.
The/at missile/nn can/md gradually/rb be/be expected/vbn to/to replace/vb the/at torpedo/nn ./.
As/cs detection/nn ranges/nns increase/vb ,/, weapons/nns will/md be/be developed/vbn to/to attack/vb other/ap submarines/nns and/cc surface/nn craft/nn at/in these/dts ranges/nns ./.
Therefore/rb ,/, the/at fourth/od principle/nn of/in the/at plan/nn must/md be/be that/cs it/pps provide/vb for/in continuously/rb increasing/vbg capabilities/nns in/in the/at opponent/nn ./.


	No/at element/nn can/md accomplish/vb the/at total/jj objective/nn of/in submarine/jj defense/nn ./.
Some/dti elements/nns support/vb the/at others/nns ,/, but/cc all/abn have/hv limitations/nns ./.
Some/dti limitations/nns of/in one/cd element/nn can/md be/be compensated/vbn for/in by/in a/at capability/nn of/in another/dt ./.
Elements/nns used/vbn in/in combination/nn will/md increase/vb the/at over-all/jj capability/nn more/rbr than/cs the/at sum/nn of/in the/at capabilities/nns of/in the/at individual/ap elements/nns ./.
Therefore/rb ,/, the/at plan's/nn$ fifth/od principle/nn must/md be/be that/cs it/pps capitalize/vb on/in the/at capabilities/nns of/in all/abn elements/nns in/in combination/nn ./.

To/in this/dt point/nn the/at need/nn for/in an/at over-all/jj plan/nn for/in submarine/jj defense/nn has/hvz been/ben demonstrated/vbn ,/, the/at mission/nn has/hvz been/ben stated/vbn ,/, broad/jj principles/nns delineating/vbg its/pp$ content/nn laid/vbn down/rp ,/, and/cc the/at supporting/vbg elements/nns listed/vbn ./.
Before/cs considering/vbg these/dts elements/nns in/in more/ap detail/nn ,/, an/at additional/jj requirement/nn should/md be/be stated/vbn ./.
Large/jj area/nn coverage/nn will/md accomplish/vb all/abn other/ap tasks/nns ./.
Therefore/rb ,/, because/cs reduction/nn in/in tasks/nns results/nns in/in reduction/nn of/in forces/nns required/vbn ,/, the/at plan/nn should/md provide/vb for/in expanding/vbg area/nn coverage/nn ./.
But/cc it/pps must/md be/be remembered/vbn that/cs the/at plan/nn should/md not/* be/be oriented/vbn geographically/rb ./.
Consequently/rb ,/, the/at system/nn giving/vbg area/nn coverage/nn (/( if/cs such/jj coverage/nn is/bez less/ap than/cs world/nn wide/jj )/) must/md be/be flexible/jj and/cc hence/rb at/in least/ap partially/rb mobile/jj ./.
Since/cs effective/jj area/nn coverage/nn appears/vbz fairly/ql remote/jj ,/, the/at requirement/nn can/md be/be borne/vbn in/in mind/nn while/cs considering/in the/at elements/nns :/: air/nn ,/, surface/nn ,/, sub-surface/jj ,/, fixed/vbn installations/nns ,/, mines/nns ,/, and/cc intelligence/nn ./.

Environmental/jj intelligence/nn is/bez just/rb as/ql important/jj ./.

Approaching/vbg this/dt problem/nn on/in a/at statistical/jj basis/nn is/bez invalid/jj ,/, because/cs the/at opponent/nn has/hvz the/at same/ap sources/nns available/jj and/cc will/md be/be encountered/vbn not/* under/in average/jj conditions/nns ,/, but/cc under/in the/at conditions/nns most/ql advantageous/jj to/in him/ppo ./.

All/abn capabilities/nns must/md be/be used/vbn to/in maximum/jj advantage/nn then/rb ./.
Temperature/nn ,/, wind/nn ,/, oxygen/nn content/nn ,/, depth/nn ,/, bottom/nn character/nn ,/, and/cc animal/nn life/nn are/ber the/at chief/jjs environmental/jj variables/nns ./.

These/dts variations/nns must/md eventually/rb be/be measured/vbn horizontally/rb as/ql well/rb as/cs vertically/rb ./.

In/in an/at over-all/jj ASW/nn concept/nn ,/, dependence/nn on/in and/cc effort/nn expended/vbn for/in such/jj systems/nns should/md be/be limited/vbn to/in those/dts with/in proven/vbn capabilities/nns ./.
