dc.description.abstract	This paper is a collection of diverse analytical results that are related to several aspects of a common problem: the defence of carriers against torpedo-firing submarines. This work is not in any sense a complete treatment of those issues, but is rather a set of analytical vignettes. Examined are:
dc.description.abstract	(1) escort response time to a flaming datum;
dc.description.abstract	(2) the probability of detecting the attacker after a flaming datum;
dc.description.abstract	(3) ship/submarine exchange ratio as depending on the number of submarine attacks within a convoy;
dc.description.abstract	(4) the trade-off between screening and flaming datum prosecution; and
dc.description.abstract	(5) carrier survival probability
dc.description.abstract	after a submarine has penetrated its screen.
