I have not been around for a while. Sorry. The SH-60 helo and Arliegh Burke DDG's have excellent ASW abilities.Not to mention what ever SSN is deployed with a CSG.
Yes their ASW abilities are great.
Yet the major problem with US ASW now is quantity. There simply aren't that many Burkes around, plus the fact that 21 Flight I's don't have hangers. The fact that USN lack frigates is undeniably detrimental to its ASW capabilities.
You can make the good argument that its ASW is better than most countries, but we all know that's not good enough.
