	Focusing on ASW in RIMPAC 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		RIMPAC 2002 did not focus on the traditional carrier battle group scenario, but rather emphasized a heavy anti-submarine warfare (ASW) theme, while honing the tactical proficiency of participating units - surface combatants, submarines, tactical aircraft, and amphibious forces - in a wide variety of combined operations at sea.
		Harrington noted that the goal of the RIMPAC was to exercise ASW tactics with the participating nations in both familiarization exercises and set scenarios.
		"I believe by the end of RIMPAC everyone was more prepared to go to war against a submarine," Harrington added, noting that at least at the beginning of the exercise, conditions were poor for active sonar, and it offered no real performance advantage for the surface fleet.
