Description: Author makes case that due to recent events, initiatives in areas of naval arms control are      extremely poorly timed. These events include political changes in USSR, the changing      international security environment, the new Soviet military doctrine and strategy, ongoing      arms control negotiations, unarticulated U.S. and NATO goals, and changes in Soviet      and U.S. planning assumptions and scenarios. Author then analyses three major areas for      naval arms control proposals: (1) restrictions on strategic antisubmarine warfare, (2) naval      operations, and (3) strategic antisubmarine warfare technology and fanks them on      technical grounds. Author reviews the goals of arms control and finds none of these three      areas in need of formal regulation. Author concludes with a number of innovative areas      for naval arms control in areas of doctrine, strategy, operations, and exercises with      concrete recommendations and acceptable (to USN) fallback positions.
