If it works as well as their last SSBN, we don't have much to worry about. Of course if they do decide to go out for a joy ride, it will probably have a Seawolf on its butt from start to finish.

paid for by the ladies who shop at wal-mart.

B.S.

Paid for by the FEDGOV that granted Red Communist China MFN status.

A part of the whole, Son, a part of the whole.

Strong industrial bases and strong economies coupled with totalitarian governments build strong militaries.

It portends poorly for us when those governments are commited to our downfall as the Chinese are.

Why we continue to send our industrial wealth and further dig ourselves
into debt to such a repugnant regime is simply beyond my fathom.

Ditto!
Just walk through Walmart turning things upside down.
We are creating the monster that eventually will slit our throats.

The day is coming, and maybe very soon, when the Red Chinese commie rats
are going to say, Jump! And we damn better well say, How high?

I hope before that day comes, the globalists who sold us down the river
are dragged out of their mansions and strung up by their balls.

Their probe was not carried out by a boomer. One may guess at the mission: Training, Mapping, spying, contingency?

You and me both!

Another good reason not to share satellite control beyond the military. All I can think of is MI need a bird but the CIA or NSC or FBI gets first call. Shiver!

grimy little paws

Grimy little yellow paws.

I read years ago that they were getting the Presidio for a container port as well. What happened to that---anyone know?

Thanks for your duty.

I was on skimmers---although units on my ship (CV-60) took part in the cat and mouse games as well.

I never participated as I was in a VF but I understand the "Games are not only essential, but also a huge adrenalin rush.

I am still so POed I can't think straight when KLINTON changed the sub launch protocol. The 3rd part of the triad was in case nothing was left. They surface, hear no orders, and fire. NOW..it is "hear no orders..you are now a floating target because you can't do squat without orders."

Klinton did more to destroy our safety than any other pres. He should have been tried for treason..and all of the RINOs that went along with his gun banning, dimantling SOSUS, and everything else he did to make us vulnerable.

Waco and Ruby Ridge alone were cause for impeachment and trial and a hanging IMO.

Don't forget the W-88 MIRV warheads.

I am afraid I agree with all you've said.

The bureaucracy stays while presidents come and go.

Too bad Patrick couldn't have stopped by the State Department on his way to drive the snakes out of Ireland.

Or, when they left Ireland they may have found a new home in State.

Monica Lewinsky was the greatest thing to ever happen to Clinton. There was no need to steal our secrets when they could be bought for campaign contributions to the Democratic Party. When the blue dress scandal broke everyone took their eyes off the Chinese businessmen/intelligence agents buying our classified military technology

I'm not an authority---Does that sub look like a kilo or one of the other Russian designs?
