If a Chinese submarine took out a ship, another submarine or ashore infrastructure during combat, how would the Navy respond to fill the gap?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Keyport recently conducted a \u201cfirst of its kind\u201d warfighting readiness tabletop exercise<\/a>, focused on command, control and communication, to address that question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evaluation of the Navy\u2019s wartime acquisition response plan, held at Naval Base Kitsap-Keyport in Washington, featured three scenarios in which participants identified solutions to deal with damage to aircraft, ships, submarines and ashore infrastructure during sustained conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The options to manage such a crisis included \u201cinnovative\u201d repair solutions as well as optimal asset reallocation, the Navy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representatives from the Naval Sea Systems Command warfare centers, the NAVSEA Warfare Centers Headquarters and the Naval Sea Logistics Center participated in the mid-June exercise. It represented the first time all 10 warfare center divisions, headquarters and the logistics center took part in the in-person wartime exercise, the Navy said in a July 5 news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warfare centers then provided feedback on each of the scenarios, including action items, insights and recommendations. According to Caeleigh Villarreal, Keyport\u2019s advanced skills management logistics lead, the exercise provided the warfare centers with a \u201cwealth of actionable data\u201d that is influencing wartime response plans as well as preparation for the Pacific Fleet\u2019s biannual Talisman Sabre exercise<\/a>, which kicks off later this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
