Once W9 have located a submarine, the task remaining is that of pin pointing his location and delivering a destructive weapon on him. But even when detected and properly classified, sub- marines are slippery customers. They have evasive tactics, decoys, and clever ways of disap- pearing while you are watching them. Drawing the net around one is a complex job,usually re- quiring smooth teamwork by several units. The final step - destruction - is one which relatively, is in good shape. lf we can find a sub- marine and identify him and get a reasonably good fix on his position, we have weapons to take care of him. lt doesn't take a megaton bomb to knock out a submarine., Even a small hole in a pressure hull is enough to put him out of business. But there is always a few hundred feet of water between the attacker and his target. The weapon must negotiate this distance, find the submarine, and explode close enough to render a lethal blow. We now have the atomic depth bomb, which gives us a much greater probability of destroying an enemy submarine. The World War ll depth charge had a lethal radius of 35 feet. Using a nu- clear charge,'an average kill radius measured in the hundreds of feet can be obtained against a modern submarine. The atomic depth bomb is not the ultimate answer to the submarine, but it is a powerful addition to the anti-submarine arsenal. The responsibility to authorize the use of these nuclear weapons lies solely with the President of the United States.
