It seems the Japanese might be of help with the locals on the submarine front. For AA it will likely have to be the Americans with Air Superiority Fighters as well as missiles.

Dans une école texane, c'est la puce ou la porte ( In a texas school, it's the chip or dismissal) http://www.lapresse.ca/international...0_accueil_POS2 That chip isn't even for security but for getting more public fund.

About submarines, I must admit I'm still amazed that diesel subs are still useful as the more silent ones considering how much money the Americans and the Russians invested in nuclear subs as far back as I can remember. Last edited by KiraYamatoFan; 2012-11-28 at 12:01. |

The Japanese are even talking about exporting "stealth" diesel submarines to allied Asian countries to counter the Chinese naval expansion.
Nuclear's advantage is that it can stay on station for long periods of time without refueling. Very useful for ballistic missile subs and the attack subs that hunt them. Not as useful for local defense work and patrols.

Anything bigger than an LST (maybe medium destroyers like the Arlegih Burke class which has more armor than conventional destoyers) would simply be "marooned" because they can't carry the heavier torpedoes which are often used to make clean kills out of ships and hole carriers.

^ ... but what kind of "palestine" state they will vote on? Here are some templates to consider: A state with no control over its territory. The Palestinian Authority has zero authority in Gaza today. Out of concern for his personal safety, President Abbas has not even seen this area with binoculars since 2007, when the Hamas terrorist organization seized control of it in a bloody coup. Demonstrating their affection for Mr. Abbas, Hamas threw members of his political party off 12-story rooftops. While members of the U.S. Congress visit their constituents on a weekly basis, President Abbas hasn't laid eyes on almost half of the Palestinian population for six years. A terrorist state. States recognized by the U.N. must pledge to be "peace-loving." This month, Hamas showed its commitment to peace and love in Gaza by firing more than 1,200 rockets into Israeli cities. The terrorist group has used every resource at its disposal to repress its own population or attack Israel's. It has transformed Gaza into a haven for global jihadist organizations like al Qaeda. The family of nations does not need another member whose primary import is deadly weapons and whose chief exports are extremism, hatred and terror. An undemocratic state. Hamas has imposed brutal tyranny in Gaza, and Palestinian democracy in the West Bank is also far from Jeffersonian. President Abbas's mandate to rule expired three years ago. He continues to personally extend it without elections or consultation from his people. Mr. Abbas may have a flexible view of his own term limits, but his ideas about freedom of speech are more rigid. Journalists, bloggers and activists continue to be jailed and tortured in the West Bank for crimes such as "extending their tongues against the Palestinian President." A bankrupt state. Palestinian Authority institutions remain completely dependent on foreign aid, limping from crisis to crisis. Yet this year, as the PA threatened to delay payroll for many employees, it tripled payments to convicted terrorists. Today the PA devotes 6% of its annual budget to payments for imprisoned terrorists and the families of suicide bombers, and less than 1% to higher education. In mosques, schools and official media, the PA glorifies terror and promotes incitement against Israelis. Instead of using their budgets for nation-building, they use them for nation-sinking. |

You need multiple hits at key spots to sink a carrier but it's possible. Torpedoes utilize the upwards pressure from the water column to aid in breaking the target after all.
