The closing force-design exercise asks what a basic 60-70 percent ASW hunting asset should carry and how ships and aircraft should complement one another. Sonobuoy capacity provides one concrete variable for comparing designs. The preceding discussion places quantity and coordination at the centre of the problem. The exercise asks viewers to balance individual capability against the number of sensors and investigators needed to screen a large ocean.

Design a practical ASW hunting force
Consider what a practical 60-70 percent ASW force would need from its ships, crewed aircraft, uncrewed systems, and sonobuoy capacity.
