9235 SAU APPROACH TO A CONTACT OR DATUM<br />

The method of approach <strong>and</strong> countermeasures to be applied depend on the tactical situation. The<br />

SAU comm<strong>and</strong>er must balance the danger to the SAU against the subsurface threat to the main body, convoy,<br />

<strong>and</strong> to friendly l<strong>and</strong> installations that may be targets for submarine-launched missiles <strong>and</strong> accept a calculated<br />

risk where necessary. Availability of a medium- or long-range weapon delivery capability,<br />

especially in good sonar conditions, may allow the SAU comm<strong>and</strong>er to use a more deliberate approach tactic<br />

than is necessary when only short- or medium-range weapons are available.<br />
