There, I have my own headline and it is just as valid as the articles title. Maybe's and could be's and crystal ball gazing, for every turn of technology there is a flip side.
This, the threat from the modern diesels, is an extremely serious problem. But our problem is more institutional and political than it is technological.
In the cold war, this would have been a problem that was worked on and solved.
Now it is a tech backwater project. And the Navy is focused on advancing homosexuality, man weddings at the Naval Academy, improving the moonpig F-35, buying littoral combat ships that are a step backwards, etc.
And ASW has been gutted, the P-8 is great for program officers, but it is as big a loser as the F-35.
Its a fact that our ASW capability is far less than it was in 1991. And the threat is more dangerous.
But our problem is philosophical, not technological.
The P-8A also has no MAD system.
Like the “Salesman of the Century”
Guy is pushing a ‘stealth’ tank and going around giving speeches, getting people ready for the event, finally goes to the Pentagon, gets all the brass out on the North Parking lot to unveil his ‘new tank’.
Everyone gathers round, he says bring it on....there is silence and then a slight clunk, more silence and you can hear brakes release.
How is that? He said.
WOW said the Generals, I can’t see anything.
That is right Gentleman, can’t see anything. How many should I sign you up for.
YOU know that is a true story because that is how they foisted health care and Global whatever they are calling it these days on us.
The title is incorrect.
“Tomorrow’s Stealthy Subs Could Sink America’s Navy”
It must read:
“Yesterday’s Subs Could Sink America’s Navy”
During war games Type 206/209 submarines killed many times US carriers and destroyers.
E.g. search for RIMPAC and “Chang Bogo” or U24 and Enterprise.
But the real question is, What are our Armed Forces doing to promote social justice, reproductive rights, and the LBGT community? LOL This is a very fascinating article. Thank you! I have been carefully watching, with some pleasure the diesel electric resurgence.
