The United States no longer com
mands the seas because the Soviet
Navy has risen in power, Dr. Robert
Suggs said Monday at a seminar spon
sored by the UNL department of naval
science and political science and the
Institute for International Studies.
Suggs is a senior analyst for Soviet
affairs for the U.S. Department of
Defense in Washington, D.C.
An audience of about 200, mostly
naval science students, listened to
Suggs' speech, "What Kind of Threat
The Rise of the Soviet Navy."
The Soviet navy has historically
ranked least of the Soviet armed forces
because the Soviets are mostly a land
power, he said. But the Soviet navy's
strength has risen since S.G. Gorshkcv
became the commander in chief of the
Soviet naval forces, Sugg said.
Gorshkov took command around 1967
and survived major changes of power
from Stalin to Chernenko, Suggs said.
Gorshkov not only built up ocean-going
forces with new ships, weapons, ports
and deployments, but also increased
sea power by building merchant, fish
ing and research ships, Suggs said.
He said that Gorshkov's "genius"
showed when he equipped state-owned
civilian vessels with intelligence
gathering equipment. These ships can
collect information from anywhere in
the world and are hard to detect, he
said.
Suggs showed statistics comparing
the Soviet naval fleet of 2,100 ships
with the United States' 675. He said the
U.S. navy's ships are better, but the
United States can't think it can beat
the opponent with technology because
the Nazis thought that, too. He said
numbers are what matters.
Monday's seminar was the first time
since the 1960s that the UNL depart
ment of naval science and the Depart
ment of Defense have co-sponsored a
session, said Dr. Ivan Volgyes, coordi
nator of the session. Volgyes is a
special-projects officer of the UNL
department of international studies
and political science.
Suggs has a doctorate in archaeology
and anthropology from Columbia Uni
versity. He has worked with anthropol-
