We don’t know what kind of missiles this U.S. submarine carries but Iran can certainly “F around and find out.”
Boomers are either submerged or in port.
Carriers are for showing the flag.
IMHO.
5.56mm
“Boomers are either submerged or in port.”
Except when transiting the Suez Canal.
Remember this? Ha! Seems it’s not Trump but Biden that could get us into WWIII

Brilliant.
The fact that the Pentagon disclosed it is proof that the sub is there for symbolic reasons. It is supposed to intimidate the Russians and Iranians.
Is it one of the SSGNs (old SSBNs)? I HIGHLY doubt an SSBN would go through Suez or Panama.
CNN will say “Here is the secret location of the US submarine as plotted on overhead views from space and based on leaked secret meetings of the Joint Chiefs. Please don’t tell the enemy what you saw on tonight’s CNN exclusive.” (Host zips her lip and giggles.)
He will always be Michael to me.
Mediterranean. Depths up to 80’ can be discovered-vulnerable target.
What an effin idiot that guy is; wrong on everything.
Targeting suggestions: Mecca and every military base in Iran.
“Is it one of the SSGNs (old SSBNs)? I HIGHLY doubt an SSBN would go through Suez or Panama.”
Agreed.
SSBN’s don’t show themselves once on patrol.
SSGN’s are a good signal that we are here.
SOP?
Could see Russia or China placing acoustic and visual devices along the canal to get the signature of the propulsion system of the Boomer.
Hey Reno. Don’t forget Medina. Tom Tancredo didn’t.
This is an SSGN, up to 154 Tomahawk missiles and vehicles/berthing/training for special forces.
We converted 4 of the Ohio class into these starting back in the 90s.
Ahh, my reply was supposed to be on a different thread.
Could solve every single problem in the Middle East in less than 20 minutes!
Yep.
