DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThe longer title would be `How to sink a submarine
  in World War II'.\n\nChurchill wrote '... the only thing that ever really
  frightened me during the war was the U-boat peril'.\nThe Japanese Navy lo
 st its war against the submarine\,\nthe Allied Navies could have lost thei
 r war.\nMany things contributed to victory. One of them was\nthe new idea 
 of `Operations Research'.\n\nThis lecture only discusses simple ideas and\
 nonly uses simple mathematics. But they were the right\nsimple ideas and i
 t was not easy to find them\nin the fog of war.
