He estimated that of the 300 submarines on the earth that aren’t U.S. vessels, 200 are within the Indo-Pacific, which he stated was the “most militarized part of the world.”

Locklear stated Asian nations are constructing their submarine capabilities as a result of they perceive the vessels afford them the power to disclaim entry to enemies, in addition to their worth as a deterrent.

Conflict with China isn’t inevitable, he stated.

“A China with a military that would come forward as a net provider of security, rather than a net user of security would be beneficial to not only the region, but would be beneficial to us,” he stated.
