Why Submarines?

“Of all the branches of men in the forces is none which shows more devotion and faces grimmer perils than the submariners.”
— Sir Winston Churchill

•There is currently not a single submarine in any of the GCC Navies. However, there are many submarines operating in the GCC littoral and blue waters.

PERISCOPE24  analyzed a list of the GCC maritime tasks (GCC Maritime strategy) against typical tasks performed by conventional submarines. As a result, representative conventional submarines can satisfy 79% of GCC maritime tasks.

•PERISCOPE24 identified sinusoidal GCC governments and their navies declaration or interest in the procurement of submarines for their own forces. There can be two reasons for such attempts:

–Providing noise regarding the submarine market research and analysis will raise close attention and initiate careful analysis between potential enemies.

–Starting potential any GCC submarine procurement process will force changes in possible enemies forces.

• The GCC discussion should not be: Why submarines?

• The GCC discussion should be: What can subs do for the GCC Navies and how fast can they get them?

 SUBMARINE FACTS BY PERISCOPE24

  • SUBS are secret and expensive diamonds for every Navy and Allies or coalition.

•The whole doctrine of submarine activity is based on total secrecy.

•Submarines provide unique invisible defensive and offensive capabilities when compared with the visible and noises surface/air navy forces.

•The Navy manages submarines but does not always set tasks or order them.

•Countries relatively weak economically, invest in submarine force as an invisible threat engages/requires more potential enemy effort.

•There are identified procurement or upgrades of the national submarine forces around the world.

•Only the Danish Navy canceled its submarine service :-((.

•A relatively small market to purchase new submarines.

• Difficult to secretly build submarines.

•List of strategic, operational, and tactical tasks performed by submarines is growing (the latest: conventional subs firing missiles and cyber warfare).

•Personnel, training, and submarines C2 are much more challenging than purchasing submarines.

•No Navy in the world will share their national or allied submarine’s TTP.
