Description: The United States Navy's forces afloat do not have a single source document that addresses anti-terrorism and      counterterrorism. The increase in terrorism world-wide has stimulated the concern that vulnerable maritime      vessels will become terorist targets. U. S. Navy ships in a restricted maneuvering situation, at anchor in a harbor,      or moored pierside may offer an attractive target to a terrorist group. To deal with this potential terrorist threat,      personnel manning U. S. Navyships must be educated in the fundamentals of terrorism; the ships' security      program must be evaluated and modified accordingly; various watches, sentries, and teams must be trained in      new anti- and counterterrorist procedures; and contingency plans must be developed to deal wilth potential      terrorist incidents. This study provides a guide for the development of effective anti-terrorist and counterterrorist      programs for any ship type in the U. S. Navy. (Author)
