>We hear reports from time to time about such things concerning the Coast Guard and our Navy chasing Russian subs off of the San Francisco coast line. The last one I heard on the news was around November of last year, and the sub was reported at 40 miles off the coast. Imagine all the things that go on that we are not aware of?

This has been going on for years. Russia has about as much incentive to launch a missle at us as we do at them... none.

>The Russians and the United States are still cranking out nuclear subs. Russia is negotiating sales or rentals of nuclear subs to India and Pakistan. Israel is in the act too. What am I bid for…

The world is still a dangerous place. Not making nuclear subs is not going to change that.

>One of our subs caries 40 ICBM’s with atomic warheads. The missiles have a minimum range of 4500 miles. This makes a SAC B-52 look like a toy.

True.
