Tracking Submarines
"The worlds deadliest weapons are also the stealthiest. The United States, Russia, China, Britain, and France all have fleets of submarines that carry nuclear missiles. The most advanced of these subs are nearly undetectable and can stay submerged for months.
"A U.S. Trident nuclear submarine carries 24 missiles, each fitted with several independently targeted warheads. One of these subs carries enough explosive power to destroy every major metropolitan area in the Northern Hemisphere, according to the Federation of American Scientists.
"Today, the U.S. is by far the leader in sub-launched missile technology. But other nations, especially China and Russia, are trying to narrow the gap."

Is there some super secret info? Sure. Do you think trump can remember that stuff? Doubt it.
I'm for concentrating on the stuff that really matters-- Jan 6, documents, lying, raping, etc.
