    Could have imagined this happening as little as 3 years ago.

    An ally sending a nuclear deterrent into our waters as a message/warning to the US. This normally happens to countries like Iran or North Korea

          Briefly the us was the good guys when we killed a bunch of slavers and then when we killed a bunch of fascists. Those were exceptions to the rule though.

              They also killed the Nazis, except for the ones that were useful, of course.

                  What’s the relevance of the founding fathers, then?

      To be accurate, this is a nuclear propelled attack submarine. It does not carry nuclear warheads and is not what we normally call a “nuclear deterrent”.

        It does not but can carry nuke tipped missiles and even though we have the screw signatures of our allies…this is still a message that the rest of the world except Moscow is looking down on us in disappointment

        I believe you, but do you have a source? That’s a pretty big distinction when *they’re calling it a “nuclear attack submarine”!

          I used to look for submarines for a living. But you don’t have to believe me:

            Thanks for the info. I’m curious if you have more details on what that job was (if you’re able to share)! Why did you move on from it?

              My current job is to operate electronic sensors on board of an aircraft. I used to work with anti-submarine helicopters. The kind of helicopters that usually operate from a military ship. Now I’ve been moved to work on a search and rescue aircraft. It’s a nice change to be looking for people who actually want to be found.

      Still hasn’t happened. This was a sales pitch for a Canadian defence contract.
