I have long wondered about that incident. I have to wonder whether they “just did” without our knowledge; or if we let them, so they wouldn’t know our asub capability.
Naval intelligence spends a lot of time just trying to figure out what the enemy knows.
I know it caused quite a stir at the pentagon.
Who’s to say who knows what exactly. My point was that we can’t underestimate anyone.
It’s a shame the can was kicked so far down the road until we find ourselves in this position.
