The Submarine Review

The Submarine Review, a quarterly journal for the submarine community, is published by the Naval Submarine League to further the interests of the submarine service and to inform the public about submarine matters. It is our belief that an active professional dialogue is necessary to ensure public awareness of the continuing need for a strong submarine force and a strong national defense. As a forum for professional discussion, The Submarine Review provides a vehicle to develop ideas about submarines and the art of submarining. The articles published in the review reflect a broad base of expertise derived from personal experience - the recall of historical precedents; technological insight; public relations today’s world; strategic planning and analysis; conceptual creativity; and innovative thinking FALL 2011                                                                                                            PAGE ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM       Welcome & Comments on Nuclear Posture             ADM Richard Mies, USN (Ret.) ...........................................................9  Vital Standards & Risk Reduction             ADM Kirkland Donald, USN................................................................33  Undersea Warfare Overview             VADM John Richardson, USN............................................................42 Operations Today             RADM Frank Caldwell, USN................................................................51  Banquet Address: Nuclear Posture & Submarines             Honorable Frank Miller.......................................................................67 TO THE SUBMARINE COMMUNITY-  Comments from the Submarine Leagure Symposium            VADM Al Burkhalter, USN (Ret).............................................................75  Open Letter from Commander Submarine Forces              VADM John Richardson, USN  ..........................................................79 Reprint of: CSF's Design for Undersea Warfare              Subforce Staff...................................................................................................................81 ARTICLES Submarines in an Era of Austerity              Dr. Jan Kallberg............................................... ..............................................................100 Operation Forager              Mr. Sherman Zimmerman  .................................................................105 Can You Handle the Stress?               Mr. Robert Aster, Mr.Matthew Keller,                    Mr. Seth A.
