As fears mount over increasing Russian and Chinese undersea manoeuvres, the US Navy is preparing to launch attack subs to take on any threats.
Vice Admiral Charles Richard has now unveiled plans that will ensure the vessels are combat-ready, which includes kitting them out with the latest top-end tools.
He said: “We have restructured and retuned the fast attack training period to ensure that we’re ready for that high-end fight, including restructuring what we used to call the Tactical Readiness Evaluation, and it is now a Combat Readiness Evaluation to ensure we’re focused on war fighting.”
VADM Richard added: “we’ve updated the deployment certification process to elimination, put the right focus in the right place.

“You still lose, and in this competition, you may not come home.”

The move comes as NATO members arrived in Norway for a mock battle.
Earlier this month, 420 Army vehicles made the 1,390-mile journey from Scotland to Norway via Holland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden.
Brigadier Oliver Stokes, the commander of a multinational brigade in the exercise, said: “I’ve been around for 32 years and have never done anything on this scale.
“The message is clear – we have a force that can respond rapidly.”
