Interesting - I hadn’t realized how close Canadian land was there. Could the missile have originated on their side? From their waters?
Has that stolen sub ever been found?
As I recall, one of the postulated sources of the possible missile launch at Hawaii was from a Canadian sub...
Will look.
far as I know the Argentinian sub wasn’t located - but it also didn’t have launch capabilities - a diesel without VLS tubes of any type. Torpedoes would have been the only armament as I understood.
“Could the missile have originated on their side? From their waters?
No, not from the location of the missile and camera, which was some 30 miles (at least) south of the launch, across the Sound from Everett. This can’t be a rogue sub, NAS Whidbey is an anti-submarine warfare base! This couldn’t have happened literally right under their nose, you could have chucked a rock from Whidbey and hit the sub that launched this missile!
This HAD to be a “friendly” launch, or that sub wouldn’t exist any longer.
