A naval force comparison in northern and Atlantic waters / Robert Van Tol.
Title: | A naval force comparison in northern and Atlantic waters / Robert Van Tol. |
Author(s): | Van Tol, Robert. Tol, Robert van. |
Date: | 1988. |
Publisher: | London: Routledge |
In: | Soviet Union and northern waters. (1988.), |
Abstract: | Analysis reveals that Soviet northern fleet has large numbers of small, aged, or technologically unsophisticated vessels; therefore unlikely that Soviet Union could mount large-scale assault on NATO's sea lines of communication without seriously weakening its own ballistic missile submarine bastion. NATO's forces distributed across far-flung basing structure and are unaccustomed to operating in hostile environment of northern waters, but they are larger, more modern and capable. Includes comparative statistical tables. |
Notes: | In: The Soviet Union and northern waters / Clive Archer, ed. |
Keywords: | 355 -- Defence. 355.457 -- Defence of particular regions. J -- Social sciences. (*3) -- Arctic regions. (*50) -- Soviet Union. (*60) -- Arctic Ocean and adjacent waters. (*61) -- North Atlantic Ocean. |
