Theyre all nuclear submarines - unless we still have some diesels in active service.
Nope--USS Dolphin was the last one, and it was decomissioned in 2006.

USS Dolphin AGSS-555

An American nuclear submarine has crossed the Suez Canal to join the US fleet stationed in the Persian Gulf, Egyptian sources say. Gee, who would have thunk it, a nuclear submarine providing escort for a naval battle group... yaaawn.

Hate to do this, but I’ve read some of this agency’s (Press TV) other stories, and it looks like a very suspect source to me.
In another article they refer to Bush’s “warmongering policies”, and that’s just one of four or five flags that smelled bad while I was checking them out.
FWIW

” work with retired GIs who actually believe the U.S. should accept 1 or 2 nuclear strikes on MAJOR U.S. CITIES”
Bezerkley and Ithica. That’s acceptable.
Also Old SAC guy. Ellsworth 1980-1983.

I work with retired GIs who actually believe the U.S. should accept 1 or 2 nuclear strikes on MAJOR U.S. CITIES, without retaliating with a nuclear response.Well, Obama's man, Pastor Wright is a retired Marine. Bet he'd agree.

They are the official media arm of the Iranian government. They are not suspect, they are 100% crooked.

Thank you for that clarification. The text of the article left it open to a more paranoid interpretation. Your explanation make much more sense.

Yeah but he was saying take it and don’t hit back.
I agree with you that losing some of the cities wouldn’t be the worst thing that could happen. But by God smack then back!
And as a policy it’s loony

No worries. I remember seeing that thing in Sandy Eggo. Weird kinda boat, actually. Then again, I never saw NR-1.

PressTV is the latest mouthpiece of the regime. It’s interesting to read what their take is sometimes.
