| | Sea Power: Navy Renews Emphasis on Antisubmarine Warfare - Page 1 |
 | | After a decade in the shadows, the Navy has put antisubmarine warfare (ASW) back at the top of its warfighting priorities, injecting new leadership and increased funding into the fight against a re-emerging undersea threat. |
 | | The newest of the organizations is Fleet ASW Command, headquartered in San Diego, which was established in April. |
 | | The command’s primary missions are to foster ASW operations through fleet training, assess ASW performance at all levels through fleet exercises, coordinate with the Navy Personnel Development Center and individual commands in the qualification of ASW personnel, and ensure rapid fleet insertion of advanced technologies, he said. |
