25 sonobuoys or chaff rounds.
Who determines the method of air control to be used and orders the tactical employment of aircraft as required by the ASWC?
ASW Air Control Unit (ASWACU).
What is the UYS-1(v)2 PROTEUS?
The acoustic processor for LAMPS III.
What is the primary limitation of a diesel-electric submarine while making a submerged run on the main body?
Endurance imposed by total battery capacity.
What type of acoustic sensors are primarily carried by the SH-60F?
AQS-13 dipping sonar and UYS-1(v)2 acoustic processor.
What readiness condition indicates the highest degree of ASW readiness?
Condition 1A.
What SAU unit automatically assumes Scene-Of-Action Commander (SAC) when any SAU unit gains contact?
SAU Commander.
What are the three general classes of sonobuoys?
Passive, active, and special purpose.
Which ASW weapons are common for both ships and aircraft?
Torpedoes, mines and missiles.
What determines a submarines ability to intercept the Torpedo Danger Zone (TDZ)?
Limiting Lines of Approach.
What determines the classifications of surface ship’s sonar?
Their maximum range capability.
What is the ‘Look Zone’?
The area outside the screen in which a submarine may go shallow to employee visual or electronic sensors.
What are the two primary carrier-based SUW air surveillance assets in terms of sensors, endurance, and communications capability?
The E-2C HAWKEYE and the S-3 VIKING.
What is the mission of a deliberate attack?
Destruction of the submarine.
What is the mission of in urgent attack?
As a diversionary measure to disrupt the submarines plan of attack; an attack on the morale, judgment, and reactions of the submarine crew.
What close ASW search application is used when a torpedo-firing submarine is a threat to the mission essential unit?
Intercept Search.
What type of ASW search is involved in OAKTREE - Search Plan 1S?
Encompasses area, intercept, last-contact, and bottom searches.
What type of ASW search is involved in PINEAPPLE - Search Plan 3S?
Encompasses sectors around a datum or search center.
Which datum approach method is used when a submarine’s course cannot be determined?
Offset Approach.
What are the objectives of a SUW search?
Continuous surveillance; precisely locate, classify and target enemy surface forces.
What governs the selection of a cruise missile seeker mode?
Quality of targeting data.
What is the basic doctrine for SUW sensor employment?
Maximize passive sense are use to maintain the tactical advantage of surprise.
Who acts as the ASW Evaluator prior to the arrival of the 1AS team when an ASW contact is first gained?
CRCWO.
What ASW tactic is used to expand a diesel submarines capabilities while maintaining continuous active sonar contact?
Hold Down.
How are ambiguities in the Over-The-Horizon-Targeting (OTH-T) database resolved by FOTC?
By manually forcing track updates/deletions or entering new tracks.
During SUW cruise missile targeting, what four factors are considered?
Weapon range and search capability; weapon selective targeting capability; weapon effectiveness;
weapon survivability.
What coordinated two-ship close ASW action allows for containment of and repeated attacks on a subsurface contact?
The Graphic Sector (Attack Plan 3A).
When selecting an ASW weapon, what are the SAG’s four considerations?
Quality of targeting data; weapon capabilities; environment; and weapon inventory.
During USW or SUW operations, what are the CIC/CDC’s two major tasks?
Planning on offensive operations and alerting the ship for required defensive measures.
