HowardWe Live for a Nuclear Submarine
Real Crash- Looking at the Financial System and the War Drive:
From yellow submarine to nuclear submarine, Beatles.
When the Queen wants nuclear war;
Nuclear missiles and much more;
Iran and Syria, excuses mean;
Start it all with a nuclear submarine;
Nuclear submarine, nuclear submarine.
Beatles, spoof- Yellow Submarine
You want to have a nuclear war? That is what a war on Iran would tend to turn into, including hits and counter hits against Russia, and China, and on the USA and the UK. Geezer, what do you say? Extinction crisis anyone? What does Obama and Romney say about that? Of course, Obama is going around Hillary Clinton and the State Department through the ultra-Zionist Dennis Ross, and the Oxford University Pseudo-Democracy crusader, US Ambassador to Russia, Michael A. McFaul. Another reason to drive out or impeach Obama right now.
Were the US to launch a nuclear strike,
for any reason, the weapon of choice would most likely be Trident missiles launched from one or more Ohio class ballistic missile submarines. The US Navy has 14 Ohio class submarines in service, 8 assigned to the Pacific Fleet and based in Bangor, Washington and 6 assigned to the Atlantic Fleet, based in Kings Bay, Ga. The Ohio class submarines are each armed with 24 Trident missiles, each carrying 6 to 8 100 kt W76 nuclear warheads. The four Royal Navy Vanguard class ballistic missile submarines, home-based in Scotland, are also armed with Trident missiles though they carry British warheads, rather than US-supplied warheads. It has been reported that the US Navy maintains 4 ballistic missile submarines on patrol at all times, 2 in the Atlantic and 2 in the Pacific.
The remainder of the US Navy's submarine fleet consists of 54 attack submarines and 4 converted Ohio class guided missile submarines (their mission includes special forces and intelligence gathering operations), divided roughly evenly between the Atlantic and Pacific fleets. These boats can carry varying numbers of Tomahawk cruise missiles, but the Navy's stockpile of nuclear-tipped Tomahawks has been in storage since President George H.W. Bush ordered them removed from the Navy's ships in 1991. The date for their decommissioning has been set for 2013.
