The camel-jocks will have a real tough time getting their version of Fat Boy to fly on top their 10 FOOT “worm” missle. Tootseyroll Pop.
On the Swede’s sub, does anyone remember that D/Es have to surface to run the D and recharge? In a real shootout these super-stealthy D/Es would turn into excellent fish habitats long before they got near the carrier fleet, unless some dem like nobama was writing RoEs.
Not necessarily. The technology to allow D/E subs to recharge their batteries has been around since WWII. The Germans had some sort of Peroxide system that let them run silent without surfacing.
