Protecting vessels from surface, submerged and asymmetric threats in littoral zones

Operations in littoral waters have long been acknowledged as vital to the safety and security of coastal nations. However, advancements in submerged system technology and the growing threat of asymmetric attack have made the confined littoral battle space a dangerous area to operate. How are these new and developing threats to be combated by modern naval vessels?
