| Submarine OFficer |
Outlook for the submarine force is dim. The force peaked at ~100 fast
attack submarines during the cold war, contracted dramatically to ~50 in
the 90s and continues to shrink at a slower rate today. The future of
submarining is likely in unmanned vehicles, and as those vehicles
replace manned (expensive) submarines personnel will be replaced as
well. This will not be so relevant in the short term, as many older
submarines are being refueled to shore up the number of ships in the
next 5-10 years.
