US 'deploys nuclear sub to Persian Gulf'


The fleet is armed with nuclear weapons and cruise missiles and carries hundreds of aircraft and rapid reaction forces.

How does a submarine carry aircraft?

It doesn't. He's talking about the battle group, which has an aircraft carrier at the center.

Yeah, but maybe you can carry aircraft on a sub?

No. Not nearly enough room.

Subs are made so that each square inch is used for something, and adding a flight hanger, even for one or two helicopters, would increase the size of the sub dramatically, to the point where it wouldn't be able to maneuver underwater.

It doesn't really matter though because it has plenty of cruise missiles, both conventional and nuclear, and if there isn't a carrier near that can send an aircraft, there always seems to be an air force base close enough to send a long range bomber/fighter.

Maybe we stuff soldiers into the missle chambers with jetpacks?

LMAO!!!

I would pay money to watch that!

The dream is becoming reality:

Oh, I know.

But the idea of being launched out of a submarine missile silo is priceless.

We just got to get them stuffed in the missle launchers!

But, you know...they Navy is phasing out missle launchers by 2010 in favor of the Rail Gun, which shoots a metal nonexplosive projectile at a speed of MACH 7. If USA has got any type of UFO tech, they could stuff a UFO craft into a RailGun sub. A little Sci Fi, but fun to think of...

If you have ever seen a submarine you would know the answer to that .

The railgun will replace the 76mm autocannon, not the missile VLS (Vertical Launch System). With missiles having ranges of hundreds and even thousands of miles, it should be obvious that they are going no where any time soon.
