Naval Traditions

Front 1

The naval affairs of the United States began
with the war of?

Back 1

the American Revolution

Front 2

It involves control of designated air, surface, and subsurface areas. Is of crucial importance to the U.S. strategy of using both oceans as barriers for defense and as avenues to extend our influence overseas.

Sea control

Front 3

is the ability to project
military power from the sea worldwide in a timely and precise manner to accomplish a given objective

deterrence, forward defense, and collective security

Front 7

The principle weakness of the Soviet navy is

in providing underway
replenishment.

Front 8

Another weakness of the Soviet surface navy is

Back 8

the lack of long-range air power like that provided by a U.S. carrier battle group.

Front 9

National military strategy rests on three basic pillars:

Back 9

DETERRENCE, FORWARD DEFENSE, and ALLIANCE SOLIDARITY.

Front 10

When deterrence fails to prevent an enemy’s attack, the United States responds in one of four forms.

Back 10

(1) meets force with force at the point of attack
(2) increases the intensity of the conflict
(3) alters the geographic width of the conflict
(4) controls the duration of fighting.

These forces consist of

naval base at Norfolk, Virginia. It patrols the
western Atlantic across some of the world’s most
important trade routes.

is the destruction or neutralization of enemy
submarines. The aim of ASW is to prevent the effective use of submarines by the enemy.

Front 21

is the destruction or
neutralization of enemy surface combatants and
merchant ships

(ASUW).

Front 22

is the use of conventional or nuclear weapons in the
destruction or neutralization of enemy targets ashore.

STRIKE WARFARE.

Front 23

consists of attacks launched from the sea by naval forces and by landing forces embarked
in ships or craft.

Front 31

is a medium-range (MR),
surface-launched missile employing passive or
semiactive homing

Back 31

Standard-1 (SM-1) rim66

Front 32

incorporates midcourse guidance, which
allows programming of the missile for radar
search only. The missile is redirected in midflight
and then again during the terminal homing phase.

Standard- 2MR

Front 33

is an extended-range
(ER), surface-launched missile employing passive/
semiactive homing or midcourse command
guidance.

Back 33

Standard-1 (RIM-67)

Front 34

a medium-range, rocketboosted,
turbo-sustained cruise missile. It can be
launched from surface ships, submarines, or
aircraft (without the booster). It is effective
against hostile surface targets such as combatants
and surfaced submarines.

simultaneously track 24 hostile air targets and
launch six missiles against six different targets.
