Husband rode submarines x20 years- agree that US Navy doesn’t normally disclose their movements also agree show of power acts as a deterrent…but I’m not sure about this website the drive.com…did you notice they seem to be following the DS narrative feigning outrage about this completely staged “war” and implying Russia is the aggressor and forgetting to mention that this inept administration is in fact financing this “war” it makes me suspect the whole article
It’s about sending a clear message that can’t be misunderstood.
The Ohio class carries 24 Trident II Ballistic Missiles. Each capable of being tipped with Nuclear payloads with the equivalent blast yields being anywhere from 5-475 Kilotons depending on the exact mounted warhead.
For a frame of reference the blast from the Atom Bomb dropped on Hiroshima was estimated at 15 Kilotons.
Whoever ordered the subs in wants to send a message to someone.
Could it go along with Q post 1032 and the recent Elon comms? https://greatawakening.win/p/15K6v0a0KO/from-twittercomms/c/
I served on boomers. This is incredibly unusual news. We never, ever, pulled into ports without the appropriate security. This includes US military bases. There are only basically 2 places in the country these boats are allowed to tie up.
In case of emergencies, if we absolutely had to offload someone or pick up supplies, we would loiter in the area and have a small boat come out. I pulled into the basin at Pearl Harbor 15 times, and never once threw a line over to moor. We would just refresh supplies and do personal transfer from the basin, then head back out.
If Pearl Harbor doesn’t have the required security protocols to moor a boomer, how the fuck are they pulling into foreign ports? I am so glad I’m not on that crew. Everyone is standing security on that bitch. No one is going out and getting drunk.
This is a marker of some sort. We haven’t done this with missile boats since the 80s. I’m not sure what kind of seismic shift in policy must have occurred that we are doing this now. It boggles my mind to be honest.
One possibility I don’t think anyone has realized. There may not be any warheads in them. That would allow them to behave like a fast boat, dropping the security levels required for port calls.
Holy fuck this is weird. A complete break from decades now of security policy in the SSBN fleet.
Israel is saved for last.
The gate is closed.
