“cannot be located”

That might mean that the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF has pulled out the P-3 Orion Sub Hunters from the Korean/Japanese "theater".
The Yellow Sea is a "shallow" sea, so if the mini-subs “cannot be located”, then they're in the Sea of Japan, or they're in rivers in North Korea, which are also shallow.

Also, our new sub hunter, the P-8 Poseidon, lacks a MAD.

i was being much more optimistic... but your notion seems equally worthy of consideration too...

The U.S. Navy never had P-3s in Korea or Japan. At the height of the Cold War all Pacific Fleet P-3s were stationed at Moffitt Field in California and Barber's Point in Hawaii. They deployed to Adak and Midway.

Recently they've deployed P-8s to Okinawa. I have no idea whether that's a permanent plan or not.
