Agreed. And I would prefer the Navy speed up the weaponization of that “frickin lazer beam” they just tested. That is a game changer. Adding more tubes isn’t.
If they need subs in the Pac Rim, port more at Pearl and Guam. Reconsider the Phillipines.
Anyone know why there isn’t a boomer ported at Pearl?
Anyone know why there isn’t a boomer ported at Pearl?When I was on the Washington, we were home-ported in Pearl Harbor, but operated out of Guam. New London boomers operated out of Holy Loch, while Charleston boomers patroled from Rota.
With the advent of the Trident boats, we didn't need to start so far from home. All Tridents operate from Kings Bay, GA and Bangor, WA, but can still make the world go away, if called upon to do so.
