This podcast explores the strategic value of non-nuclear submarines in strengthening the U.S. Navy’s undersea fleet. Inspired by insights from Jim Halsell and Jordan Spector, we discuss how conventional subs could provide affordable lethality, operational flexibility, and expanded presence in contested waters without the costs of nuclear propulsion.
