No he doesn't! There is nothing wrong with TILH's imagination.

Under water hatches on cargo ships were used by the Soviets decades ago to launch frogmen. One US destroyer in Hong Kong put to sea, and discovered a big chunk of its sonar dome had been "surgically" sliced out and removed. This is also an easy way to bring agents in and out of "denied areas" where ships and airports are closely watched.

One method would be to drop a nuke in a welded watertight capsule from the bottom of a ship when it was in a US port with a timer or other detonation device. Such a nuke could already have been dropped while the ship was in harbor.

If that's the case then we have to check the whole waterway- if that ship followed the coast as the line's route seems to indicate, and there really was a device on board or material for same, there are a lot of targets along the way. It's a possibility a device could have been dropped in an important location overseas too, a place where our fleet may call or an important narrow straight.

Wasn't the alert supposed to be related to a person we captured from the far east?

And did you hear about Japan raising that North Korea ship? The thing had a three-engine small boat in it to get in closer to shore or ships. The thing was armed pretty good too.

Remember the flak a few months ago about Islamakazis buying or renting nonrebreathers for deep diving?

I wonder why they wanted that stuff?

Ok Travis, you can stop imagining now, I'm going to have to search for Valium as it is...I drive by Newark Harbor every day.

Holy @#$@# -- remember the alert around terrorists renting diving equipment/attending dive schools??? Combine that with your comment about offloading cargo ships through underwater hatches.
