STATEMENT OF VADM CHARLES L. MUNNS, USN COMMANDER NAVAL SUBMARINE FORCES BEFORE THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE SUBCOMMITTEE ON PROJECTION FORCES ON THE NUCLEAR SUBMARINE FORCE - PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE

摘要

The Submarine Force should continue to be utilized forward, as scouts walking the field in many places. Day-in and day-out, we must conduct Phase Zero operations, grasping for ground truth and shaping the environment to avert the next conflict or should it occur, be ready to engage quickly and decisively on our terms. By making optimum use of the very talented people of the Submarine Force, and taking advantage of fundamental attributes: stealth, persistence, agility, mobility, and payload, we will continue to provide our country with an exceptionally unique and powerful capability.
