    • Abstract:
      The article examines that Russia and China bolster their submarine fleets and capabilities as the U.S. Navy has renewed its focus on undersea threats and has labeled anti-submarine warfare a priority for all sailors and perhaps some Marines. Topics include reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin announced plans to acquire two nuclear submarines equipped with intercontinental ballistic missiles, and two diesel-powered submarines.
