Clears up that “are we deploying to SK or not” non-question.

Guided missile subs are converted boomers, that launch cruise missiles.
They can launch up to 154 tomahawks.

I was hoping that an SSGN or two would turn up over there.

Goodness gracious, where have I heard of Tomahawks being used?
I wonder if Kim has heard of them by now?
I wonder if Kim is still in Pyongyang?

All of NKork's 70 diesel Korean war era subs dont even add up to the level of tech, superiority and sheer firepower in that SSGN.
150 Tomahawks = 150 massive changes of underwear for Fatman

One of them “turned up” ... invites the question: “Where are the other three?”

Subs are supposed to be “unseen”.
They are definitely rattling Lil Kims cage.
If we are ACTUALLY preparing to do something, I’m sure we have or will have AT LEAST one more parked in the area.
Hopefully we have a bunch of Los Angeles, Sea Wolf and Virginias in the area.

They still use the Blue/Gold crew rotation, so it is likely that one is in port and three are at sea.

I believe we have four of them: Ohio, Michigan, Florida, and Georgia.

On patrol. A patrol/offcrew/refit schedule is about 180 days. At any given time, one boat is in the first 45 days, another is in the second 45 days, etc. when one crew is on patrol, the other is on offcrew. Each boat does this, so the only time that a boat is down is during the brief refit time at crew change and then it is back out on patrol again.

Our missile subs should always be unknown as to location since stealth is their survival ace. That said, let this one surface near South Korea, gets its picture taken and then submerge and disappear. Little Kim will get the message.

.....A nuclear-powered U.S. submarine is to arrive at the South Korean port city of Busan on Tuesday, the same day North Korea is expected to commemorate the founding of the Korean People's Army......
It is also the day before Trumps meeting with the Senators at the white House......and today he is meeting with the UN Security Council at the White House...which he has just stated the time to deal with N.Korea is now.
