During the height of the Cold War, the major nuclear powers of the world adhered to the principle of Mutually Assured Destruction. The major component was the Nuclear Triad, and the most dangerous part of the Triad were submarine-launched weapons. The U.S. Navy fielded the most effective anti-submarine force in the world, and Jon was honored to be a small part of that force. The presentation, using Jon's experience, will concentrate on the P-3 Orion as a sub-hunting platform and discuss the strategic and tactical components of what Sean Connery called “the great game” in the movie The Hunt for Red October.
