The task of destroying the enemy whileintransit from his home bases to the target area would fall to our surface and killer submarine forces at sea, carrier based planes and long range shore based air- craft. The WASP, her air squadrons and accompanying destroyers might well be assigned here. 3. The killing of subs intheir target areas, whether they be missile launching positions far off the U.S. coast line or astride shipping lanes connecting us with our allies, forms thefinal phase. The same forces employed in countering the enemy while in transit would be used here. Again the ready ASW Carrier Group, on station at sea, would be our main line of defense. 2 IN TRANSIT elf yi ---ff , ,A 4,1 -.v--, .
