Sea Power Naval Combat in the Missile Age

Currently Playing: Sea Power’s New Sonar Update Changes Surface Warfare | Towed Array Tutorial

Today we are taking a look at the new sonar update in Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age and showing why towed arrays are not just useful for hunting submarines. With the Fourth of July update, Sea Power now allows towed arrays to detect surface contacts. That may sound like a small change, but it can completely change surface warfare. In this tutorial, we use two Knox-class frigates and two Coontz-class DDGs to hunt down a Kirov-class missile cruiser without using cruisers of our own. The plan is simple: stay passive, use the Knox towed arrays to detect the Kirov at range, build the contact picture, and then use Harpoons to strike first. This video shows how smaller ships with the right sensors can locate, target, and sink a much larger surface combatant. Towed arrays are not just an ASW tool anymore. In Sea Power, they can be the difference between being blind and getting the first shot. #SeaPower #NavalCombat #TowedArray #Sonar #SurfaceWarfare #Kirov #NavalWarfare #MilitaryGaming #Ryu1940 Join the discord and chat about naval gaming: https://discord.gg/Ghd7USB7Wy
