Thank you!!!!
Oh wow......
"So which carrier launched the B-2 in the photo?"
Actually none.
The B2 is a demonstration of some never before seen submarine technology.
We have retrofitted one of our subs to covertly launch a B2.
We can get one in really close to an enemy and catch them with their pants down .
