Which navy had the best ship-launched anti-submarine warfare (ASW) weapons during the Cold War—the US Navy or Soviet Navy?

In this Sea Power gameplay analysis, we compare the US Navy ASROC anti-submarine rocket system and Mk 46 torpedoes against Soviet ASW weapons including the Silex, RBU-6000, UMGT, and SET-65 torpedoes.

We examine the strengths, weaknesses, range, reaction time, and effectiveness of these Cold War naval weapons and put them to the test in three ASW combat scenarios using Sea Power.

Can US anti-submarine weapons defeat their Soviet counterparts, or did the Soviet Navy have the advantage?

Weapons featured:
US Navy ASROC
Mk 46 torpedo
Soviet Silex
RBU-6000 anti-submarine rocket system
UMGT torpedo
SET-65 torpedo
Sea Power naval combat simulation

Watch to see how these Cold War ASW systems perform against each other in realistic submarine warfare scenarios.
