text: when you have close to 50 subs, with 200 nuclear tipped missiles on each sub, it is a great deterent for coutries like N. Korea, China and Russia to hit us cause we can pop up anytime and say peek a boo mother fucker and retaliate. Now if they use a EMP first and hit the mainland knock out CENTCOM or all 3 coms in Florida and then hit Diego, Virginia, Everett and whidbey Island then that is a possibility.
