Abstract

Because of uncertainties regarding their survivability outside of the anti-air umbrella of a battle group, Knox-class frigates are usually thought to be best employed only in an antisubmarine role in support of a battle group in a major theater of operations. A different, offensively oriented sea denial concept for their employment is offered here.
