And none of them can travel the thousands of miles from Puget Sound to the north Pacific Ocean. See my response to "redtoe-skipper." You overlook the geography of what is going on. (Even according to this example, the shooting submarine needs to have some detection of the target. A blind shot is impossible.)
Good point. I don't have a globe (need to get one) and had to mentally estimate the flight path. It would make no difference. The missile (if that is what it was) would have been a Trident II and they are not anti-aircraft interceptors.

Do we have flight path data for that trip?
I know most commercial flights go over the Artic when heading to Japan, China, or Korea. But AF1 isn't commercial.
