Well, Putin’s history in sub manufacturing should give pause.

There is always the Kursk as a reminder when they light that Torpedo.

the 79ft-long torpedoes – dubbed Poseidon – could be detonated underwater to cause a radioactive tsunami and threaten coastal cities with waves up to 300ft high.

Doesn't sound very defensive to me.

But I do have a couple of places in mind that would make me laugh though.

Every single US boomer can take out cities. Multiple cities. No tsunami needed.

Experts fear the 79ft-long torpedoes – dubbed Poseidon – could be detonated underwater to cause a radioactive tsunami and threaten coastal cities with waves up to 300ft high.

The waves from the Baker test at Bikini atoll, a ~20 kt warhead (handwaving), 3.5 miles from shore, started at 94 feet high, and were only 15 feet high by the time they reached shore 3.5 miles away.

Russkies and their use of nuclear energy have a sad history.

Wow. it can take out a WHOLE city.

And how many cities can a US Ohio class boomer take out?
24 missiles x 8 MIRV warheads so about 200 CITIES per submarine.
Some great reporting here .
