 I have an amazing group of sailors that I've been blessed to command that has taken on the challenge of bringing Harpoon back on board Asheville. When they were tasked with this just a short time ago it was amazing how quickly they dug into the books and took it upon themselves as a personal goal to bring this capability back on board past the tech submarine out here in Guam. Now for us the most important thing that this weapon provides myself and the theater commander is the ability to reach out and touch a potential adversary at a range that we haven't been able to do in quite some time, certainly on board USS Asheville. When we think about the ability to engage a surface ship from a submarine we're usually thinking about torpedoes. This weapon gives us the ability to reach out and confuse and complicate the risk calculus for an enemy in a way that we haven't been able to do in a long time and that adds another dynamic element to the way we bring a war fighting approach to the western Pacific and our ability to bring the fight anytime anywhere.
