The Navy for broadcasting apparent weakness in our submarine system to our country's enemies.

I am relieved you are not suggesting I am jeopardizing our national security. My son is on a submarine and there is no way I would ever do anything that I think would put him or any other member of the silent service at risk.

The public knew about the incidents before the Navy released any information about them. Publicizing a standdown does not broadcast any weaknesses. Conversely, it lets our enemies know we are taking steps to strengthen our submarine operations.

If you knew how often my son says he can't tell me something you would realize the Navy is doing a good job of not revealing sensitive information.

I have a feeling "all subs" actually means some. There is no way we will call in all of our counter strike subs for any reason. I'm betting we will rotate them in for service or whatever, on sub at a time.
