Okay, Since this is my movie, let me rewrite the script with this new information.
Would two out of date Soviet subs be candidates for official or unofficial "rogue" subs running around the sea pretending to be rogue but really NOT rogue and "authorized" by the Russian government but able to provide them with deniability by claiming rogue status?
They could show up everywhere and cause mischief. Underwarter cables off USA coast. Hawaii, Caribbean. All thjhe sub rumors Q has mentioned. Could this be them? Do they have nuke capability?
What kind of things must we prevent "at all costs?" At all costs sounds pretty serious.
Okay. I put my crazy thoughts on the table. I'll let them percolate there and see what you, my compatriots do with them. Tear them to shreds if you feel the need. That's what they're there for, in this marketplace of ideas.
