Under Seas Defense '88

To Be Held In San Diego

On October 3-6

Under Seas Defense '88 (USD), an international exposition and con- ference on underwater warfare tech- nology, will be held in the Holiday

Inn at Embarcadero, San Diego,

Calif., from October 3-6.

Under Seas Defense '88 is the sec- ond annual exposition and confer- ence in this series. It will feature exhibits and technical presentations on various aspects of submarine, an- tisubmarine, mine and mine coun- termeasures warfare technology.

Last year, at USD '87, also held in

San Diego, more than 1,500 people registered and attended. Participa- tion is expected from the U.S., as well as North American Treaty Or- ganization (NATO) and Western- aligned nations.

The keynote speaker for the tech- nical conference on Tuesday, Octo- ber 4, will be Capt. Roger M. Vena- bles of the Royal Navy. He will speak on the importance of allied cooperation in meeting the antisub- marine warfare challenge. This chiefly involves 650 operational So- viet submarines that are constantly improving in noise reduction tech- niques and with greater weapons load and launch capabilities. Cap- tain Venables will also be the fea- tured banquet speaker the evening of October 5 at the Admiral Kidd

Club, Naval Training Station, San

Diego.

At present, Captain Venables is

Captain (S/M), First Submarine

Squadron at HMS Dolphin, Gos- port, U.K. His command includes 10 submarines and the Royal Navy

Submarine School, which also ac- commodates the famous "Perisher

Course" for future submarine com- manding officers.
