Works for me as a defense policy.

I believe this is called "The Sampson Option."

actually "the Sampson Option" is where Israel pulls down its Jericho missiles (land-based) and nuclear dumb bombs on top of itself in case it's overrun ... these subs are for taking the strike to Iran or Iraq ... or a couple others in the neighborhood ... without having to announce the strike first, by the detected inbound aircraft ... usually a cruise missile from a submarine has a shorter flight time than an SRBM/MRBM or an aircraft ... in the case of a Russian Typhoon launched at Washington, D.C., you've got as little as two minutes from just outside the "12-mile" limit ...
