Submarine Squadron 11

Welcomes Chilean

Submarine to San Diego MC2 Derek Harkins, Navy.mil, July 2

SAN DIEGO – Commander, Submarine Squadron 11 (CSS-11) welcomed the diesel-electric Chilean Submarine (CS) Simpson (SS 21) to Naval Base Point Loma as part of the Diesel-Electric Submarine Initiative (DESI) program, June 26.

DESI, established in 2001 by U.S. Fleet Forces Command, enhances the Navy's capability to operate with diesel-electric submarines by partnering with South American navies. During Simpson's three-month deployment to San Diego, the crew will conduct underway operations with U.S. Navy submarines, ships and aircraft.

"Each year, Submarine Squadron 11 has the privilege of hosting a South American submarine in our local waters," said Lt. Alexander Papadakos, the CSS-11 liaison officer for Simpson. "During these visits, we are able to simulate a variety of wartime scenarios against diesel submarines which adds an additional degree of difficulty and reality to fleet ASW, as diesel submarines have proven to be quiet and elusive."

Simpson will conduct surface, air, and sub-surface anti-submarine warfare (ASW) exercises. These operations will provide the U.S. Navy and the Chilean crew valuable training and exercise opportunities to improve skills, capabilities and experience in ASW warfare.

Sailors on board Simpson will also engage in training ashore on Naval Base Point Loma. The Submarine Learning Center (SLC) Detachment San Diego will host the Chilean sailors for classroom and practical training, including fighting simulated fires at the Fire Fighting Trainer and learning skills to combat flooding in the Damage Control Team Trainer.

"Maintaining our own ASW prowess is not the only benefit of DESI," said Papadakos. "It


allows us to strengthen our bonds with our South American partners."

Capt. Chris Cavanaugh, commander, Submarine Squadron 11, personally welcomed the commanding officer and crew of CS Simpson with members of his staff and Sailors from the Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarine USS Scranton (SSN 756).

The highlight of the DESI deployment is CHILEMAR VIII, a submarine search and rescue exercise that will take place in August. Chile remains the only South American submarine-operating country to conduct frequent live submarine rescue exercises with U.S. Navy rescue assets at Undersea Rescue Command.

While in port, the Sailors of both navies look forward to challenging each other on the soccer field for friendly pick-up games, picnics and socials throughout the summer.

Submarine Squadron 11 was commissioned July 1, 1986, at Naval Base Point Loma, as a result of reorganization of Commander, Submarine Group 5. Submarine Squadron 11 consists of five Los Angeles-class fast attack submarines, the floating dry dock Arco (ARDM 5) and Undersea Rescue Command (URC). The squadron staff is responsible for providing training, material and personnel readiness support for each of these units.

Defending the Seas: the

US Navy Second Fleet

and Atlantic security James Bosbotinis, The Defense Post, July 3

The re-establishment of the U.S. Navy’s 2nd Fleet is a tangible sign of the seriousness with which the United States regards the growing Russian maritime threat, in particular in the North Atlantic and adjacent waters, such as the Norwegian Sea. It is also an indication of the shift in U.S. strategy from its post-9/11 focus on countering terrorism to an emphasis on deterrence amidst renewed great power rivalry.

The new fleet, formally stood up on July 1 and headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, where NATO’s new Joint Force Command for the Atlantic will also be located, will ‘exercise operational and administrative authorities over assigned ships, aircraft and landing forces on the East Coast and northern Atlantic Ocean.’ It will also contribute to the planning, training and provision of maritime forces for global contingencies.

The Russian maritime threat

Russia poses a distinct and multi-faceted threat to security in the North Atlantic, which could, in the event of conflict, cause significant disruption to Allied operations and transatlantic shipping. The Russian Navy, in particular its submarine forces, augmented by long-range missile-armed bombers and strike aircraft (namely, the Tupolev Tu-95MS Bear, Tu-160 Blackjack, Tu-22M3 Backfire, Sukhoi Su-34 Fullback, and the Kinzhal-armed MiG-31 Foxhound) can prosecute targets at sea and on land across the Euro-Atlantic, including within the U.S.

In addition, offensive mine warfare and special forces operations, plus non-kinetic activity such as cyber attacks, could be employed to disrupt maritime communications broadly defined. Although the pace of naval modernisation has been almost glacial, the Russian Navy retains a potent core of ex-Soviet warships, new vessels (albeit mainly smaller surface combatants) are beginning to enter service, and the submarine force has and continues to receive significant investment.

The Northern, Baltic and Black Sea Fleets operate 38 submarines comprising 15 diesel-electric (eight Kilo, six Kalibr-armed Improved Kilo and a Lada); four nuclear-powered guided missile-armed (three Oscar II and a Graney-class), 12 nuclear-powered


attack (consisting of four Victor III, four Akula, two Akula II, a Sierra and a Sierra II), and seven nuclear-powered ballistic missile-armed (six Delta IV and a Borei) boats.

The nuclear submarines are all operated by the Northern Fleet, which also operates a number of special mission boats. It warrants highlighting that the Northern Fleet is the most powerful of the Russian Navy’s four fleets, and operates the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, the ex-Kirov-class nuclear-powered guided-missile cruisers Pyotr Velikiy (Peter the Great) and Admiral Nakhimov (due to re-enter service in the early 2020s), a Slava-class cruiser, and five destroyers comprising an Udaloy II, a Sovremmeny, and three Udaloy-class ships.

Meeting the threat

In the event of conflict with NATO, the role of the Russian Navy and wider maritime forces would be to secure a favourable operational regime (the Russian equivalent of sea control) in critical waters (particularly the Barents, Norwegian, Baltic and Black Seas); ensure access through chokepoints such as the Greenland-Iceland-U.K. (GIUK) gap; conduct strikes against opposing cruise missile-armed ships and submarines and carrier strike groups; target the deployment of U.S. reinforcements transiting the Atlantic; and ensure the security of the vital ballistic missile-armed submarines. Russia would also seek to disrupt the critical infrastructure underpinning the ability of NATO states to wage war and sustain their economies through strikes against key facilities and the disruption of the maritime-based trading system.

For NATO, countering Russian efforts to achieve those objectives would be of critical importance. The defence of Europe is ultimately contingent on U.S.

military power. U.S. reinforcements would be essential to meet any Russian aggression and denying or disrupting the deployment of those reinforcements would be a primary objective for Moscow.

Although Russia is well aware that it cannot match the economic resources of, nor prevail in a long conflict against the West, it also perceives the nature of the global economy to be a vulnerability. This is especially with regard to the interdependence of advanced economies on the efficient and uninterrupted functioning of the global economy, in particular its energy and transportation systems, and thus vulnerability to systemic disruption. Moscow may perceive targeting systemic disruption as a means by which to offset Western economic superiority, and thereby reduce the West’s ability (or willingness) to wage war.

Peace through deterrence

The decision to re-establish the 2nd Fleet, and NATO’s formation of Joint Force Command for the Atlantic, will enable the generation of naval forces focused on ensuring the security of the Atlantic. It also demonstrates the importance attached to countering the Russian maritime threat, in particular as the U.S. Navy also faces the challenges of increased competition in the Indo-Pacific from a rising Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy and regional security threats from the Korean Peninsula to the Middle East.

In meeting the Russian challenge, the U.S., and NATO more broadly, should look to fully exploit the asymmetric edge superior maritime power provides.

In the 1980s, increasingly forward U.S.-led naval exercises, particularly in the Norwegian Sea, had a significant impact on the Soviet Union. Ensuring credible deterrence is central to the maintenance of


peace. Russia has demonstrated a willingness to use force to achieve its objectives, and ultimately, Moscow seeks the revision of the post-Cold War settlement in Europe – by force if necessary.

This must be countered, militarily and politically. The re-establishment of the 2nd Fleet (and NATO’s Joint Force Command for the Atlantic) demonstrates the resolve to ensure the U.S. Navy’s – and wider NATO maritime force’s – readiness to deter, and if necessary, defeat Russian adventurism.

Submarine Memorial Update Frank Voznak, Jr.

The meeting with Alderman Reilly on

June 11, 2018, went along pretty much as

we had hoped. After introductions, he

indicated that he is 100% behind us and

our project. He indicated that he

remembered most of the details from the

previous meetings.

Michelle Woods of 2FM, which

oversees the Riverwalk, was absent from

the meeting. The Alderman indicated that

he does not see Wanda Vista holding us

up, as he has seen the plans, and

instructed his aide to follow up with

Michelle to find out any reasons why we

cannot proceed with construction at the

location that we currently call “ours.” He

surmised that Michelle simply may be

acting out of an abundance of caution.

The timing for what Wanda Vista intends

to do may be a couple of years away

awaiting the completion of their building,

and should not interfere with our project.

Likewise, our project should in no way

affect what they will want to accomplish,

like brighten up Lower Wacker, etc, as is

supposed to reach only as far as the “gate”

(fence-line). Therefore, if there is no

further objection from Michelle Woods,

we can proceed with applying for permits,

and thus be back on track for a possible

November 11 deadline.

We were able to move forward with

most of what we set out to bring up with

this meeting, being to confirm the location

of our project along the Chicago River. To

establish a date to start construction is still

in flux waiting a reply from Michelle

Woods, as above. We asked about waivers

for permitting fees and were told by the

Alderman, that he will do whatever

possible, but that the present

Administration does not allow that. To

formalize plans in writing was never

really brought up as it was realized that if

& when we apply for permits, that will be

that same as if we had something in

writing.

Much of the meeting involved the

architects, Eric Grygorcewicz and Susan

Thayer of Muller & Muller, and our

General Contractor, Brian Hatlen of Troop

Contracting, discussing the plans, the

inclusion of a flagpole, and timetable. Our

participants were John Connon, Base

Commander, David Harris, Vice

Commander, and Gary Meyer, all of USS

Chicago Base, Chris Gaines, Base Secretary

and Frank Voznak, Proj. Manager / Base

Historian, of Crash Dive Base.

Navy Testing Coating That

Could Allow Submarines,

Other Ships To Glide More

Easily Through The Water Julia Bergman, The Day, July 3

The Navy is researching a new coating that could be used on submarines and other ships to help them glide more easily through the water, reducing fuel costs.


The substance, known scientifically as a superhydrophobic coating, repels water, reducing the drag created by a hull moving through the water. The Navy says it could save millions of dollars in ship fuel costs.

The coating has millions of pockets of air trapped underneath, which essentially create an air film that causes water to slide off a surface. That results in lower friction and significantly reduces drag.

"As much as 60 percent of fuel can be used on drag, maybe higher depending on speed. We have the potential of cutting that significantly," said Anish Tuteja, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Michigan, whose research the Office of Naval Research is sponsoring.

These repellent coatings aren't new. Tuteja's group has been doing this research for more than a decade, but it's hard to find a solution that's durable, especially when the environment is as harsh as the ocean.

"For this particular application, you have to get the texture exactly right. If the pores are too big, the water can essentially go into the pores and then it gets in and the drag actually increases, and if the pores are too small it doesn't create enough drag, so it had to be in the right regime to create drag," Tuteja said.

Tuteja and his team analyzed hundreds of chemical combinations before finding the right mix.

The goal is to make the coating last for several years, Tuteja said, and it could be applied by a spray similar to how paints are currently applied to the hull of a ship. The coating has a rough white surface because it has to be textured to create the air pockets, Tuteja said.

His team is also working on coatings that repel other liquids beside water, like oil, alcohol, and even peanut butter. Those coatings are being tested for a range of Pentagon uses such as for soldiers' uniforms and protective eye wear.

While there are various commercial applications for these coatings like preventing stains from liquids such as soda, juice, and alcohol on carpets and clothing, coatings for Navy application require "a lot more proving out," Tuteja said. It would be at least a few years out before they go onto ships.

Navy's Virginia-Class

Submarines Now Have a

New Mission Kris Osborn, National Interest, July 8

With "Fly-by-Wire" technology,

a human operator will order depth and speed, allowing software to direct the movement of the planes and rudder to maintain course and depth,

Navy program managers have told Warrior Maven. The ships can be driven

primarily through software code and electronics, thus freeing up time and energy for an operator who does not need to manually control each small

maneuver. Previous Los Angeles-Class submarines rely upon manual, hydraulic controls.

The Navy is expanding its attack submarine strategy to further emphasize enhanced "spy" like

intelligence, surveillance reconnaissance missions to quietly patrol shallow waters near enemy coastline - scanning for enemy

submarines, surface ships and coastal threats.


Improved undersea navigation

and detection technology, using new sonar, increased computer automation and artificial intelligence, enable quieter, faster movements in littoral

waters where enemy mines, small boats and other threatening assets often operate.

Virginia-Class submarines are engineered with a "Fly-by-Wire" capability which allows the ship to quietly linger in shallow waters

without having to surface or have each small move controlled by a human operator.

With "Fly-by-Wire" technology, a human operator will order depth and speed, allowing software to direct

the movement of the planes and rudder to maintain course and depth, Navy program managers have told Warrior Maven.

The ships can be driven primarily through software code and electronics, thus freeing up time and

energy for an operator who does not need to manually control each small maneuver. Previous Los Angeles-Class submarines rely upon manual,

hydraulic controls. This technology, using upgradable software and fast-growing

AI applications, widens the mission envelope for the attack submarines by vastly expanding their ISR potential. Using real-time analytics and an

instant ability to draw upon an organize vast data-bases of information and sensor input,

computer algorithms can now perform a range of procedural functions historically performed by humans.

This can increase speed of maneuverability and an attack submarine's ability to quickly shift course, change speed or alter depth

positioning when faced with attacks.

A closer-in or littoral undersea

advantage, Navy strategy documents explain, can increase "ashore attack" mission potential along with ISR-empowered anti-submarine and anti-

surface warfare operations. The US Navy's published "Commander's Intent for the United

States Submarine Force," published earlier this year, write s - "We are uniquely capable of, and often best employed in, stealthy, clandestine and

independent operations... we exploit the advantages of undersea concealment which allow us to:

Conduct undetected operations such as strategic deterrent patrols, intelligence collection, Special

Operations Forces support, non-provocative transits, and repositioning," the Navy strategy document writes.

The Navy is implementing elements of this strategy with its recently launched USS South Dakota, a

Block III Virginia-Class attack submarine engineered with a host of new, unprecedented undersea technologies, Navy officials said.

Many of these innovations, which have been underway and tested as prototypes for many years, are now

operational as the USS South Dakota enters service; service technology developers have, in a general way, said the advances in undersea

technologies built, integrated, tested and now operational on the South Dakota include quieting

technologies for the engine room to make the submarine harder to detect, a new large vertical array and

additional "quieting" coating materials for the hull, Navy officials have told Warrior Maven. While firepower and attack

weapons are naturally still a major area of focus for Virginia-Class

submarines, the expanding ISR

mission scope made possible by new technologies has provided key inspiration for senior Navy developers and members of Congress who have

been working vigorously to increase the size of the attack submarine fleet. Land weapons, port activities

and other enemy movements in coastal or island areas are more difficult for deeper draft surface ships to access, often complicating

surveillance missions - without giving away their position. Surface ships and the drones or

aircraft they operate could, in a variety of operational environments, be more "detectable" to enemy radar

and sensors when compared to attack submarines. "The most important feature for maneuvering in littoral waters is

the fly-by-wire control system,

whereby computers in the control

center electronically adjust the submarine's control surfaces, a significant improvement from the hydraulic systems used in the Los

Angeles-class," a 2016 Stanford University "The Future of Nuclear Submarines" paper by Alexander

Yachanin writes. Next-generation sonar technology, woven into Virginia-Class subs, is engineered to work in tandem

with "Fly-by-Wire" technology to better identify threats operating at various depths and speed.

The Block III Virginia-Class submarines also have what's called a Large Aperture Bow conformal array

sonar system - designed to send out an acoustic ping, analyze the return signal, and provide the location and possible contours of enemy ships,

submarines and other threats.
