What happens if she gets pregnant?

Can’t just surface a boomer and sail to the nearest port.

That’s what torpedo tubes are for.

Technically, USS Michigan is no longer a boomer. I don't know whether or not the Tomahawk conversion changed the operating protocols from those of boomers.

From wikipedia:

"As of June 2007, Michigan has been converted to an SSGN at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.[4] Her hull classification symbol then changed from SSBN-727 to SSGN-727. See the section on SSGN conversions of the Ohio-class article for more information."

"Can't just surface a boomer and sail to the nearest port."

Several years ago my son was badly injured on a deployed boomer. They went full speed toward Azores, intending to evac via helo after permission to surface. It was then decided to use a RIB when in range.

RIB ride to Azores, P-3 to NAS JAX, C-9 Nightingale to Andrews and several operations. They saved his arm, but he lost 30% or so of strength, grip, etc.

Can’t just surface a boomer and sail to the nearest port. an abortionist on every vessel, this is the obama/clinton Navy.

May God do to the abortionist and the mother, what the abortionist does to the little trapped baby in the womb.
