Buisiness Insider: US allies want to spend more time practicing to hunt Russian and Chinese subs, top Navy admiral says 

* US allies want to spend more time and resources on training with the US, the Navy's top admiral said.

* An area of focus is anti-submarine warfare, which has gained attention as Russia's and China's sub fleets grow. 

US allies and partners want to spend more time training with the US to hunt Russian and Chinese submarines, the US Navy's top officer said Wednesday. 

Asked about what kinds of operations offered the best opportunities to work with other navies, Adm. Michael Gilday, chief of US naval operations, told a virtual audience at the West 2021 conference that many of those forces want to focus more on anti-submarine warfare. 

"Probably at least once a week I'm talking with a key ally or partner," Gilday said. "What I'm seeing is a very high interest in not just talking about some of the more consequential missions that we have - let's say, anti-submarine warfare against an advancing threat, not only from Russia but also from China."
