6 November 2018. The news out of Asia is always interesting. But from a naval perspective, it’s particularly interesting. There are multiple states spending huge sums to update their navies, illustrating what everyone has been saying – that in terms of possible future conflict, the Asia-Pacific region is a maritime theatre. There’s an interesting article out entitled "Run Silent, Run Deep: Understanding the Regional Sub Rivalry," written by Stephen Kuper. The article discusses the submarine capabilities of most of the major Asia actors – the United States, China, Russia, Japan, South Korea and Australia.
