Nuclear subs travel so far beneath the sea’s storm surges that they do not have to “port” in any storm.

This article is CRAP. If the sub ported, it certainly was not because of hurrican Sandy.

I sailed very smoothly under quite a few storms in my submarining days. Since subs have round bottom, the last place they want be in a storm is on the surface or in port. There is definitely more to this.

I went through a hurricane in a US Submarine at > 400 feet. You slight roll slowly at that depth.
