Oh, and do not forget the AIP subs comin' out... you know, the ones using the fuel cells. Quieter than diesels.

Yep, those are what I referred to as Air-Independant Propulsion in post #49.

As far as SURTASS LFA goes, I've heard absolutely NO mention of it as a viable, tactical option for months now. Yes, the Navy went to court for it, but that was, like so many other things of that nature, to show that the environMENTALists couldn't dictate to a military service what it could do or test.

If it comes online and can be proven, fine. However, I've seen no such proof yet. The guys up in Kef aren't too impressed, either, and if anyone would have been screaming for it, it waqs them.
