It’s all bad doo-doos.
A bucket full of bad.

Netenyahoo and his extremist government have to go. They’re going to push the whole region into an unsustainable war. And it will be vicious.

At least one carrier group is in the area, and has been for some time.

I wonder what the point of the submarine is.

EDIT Apparently it can shoot cruise missiles at land targets.

No. That is not what I am saying.
The escalation is Israel's fault.

And you saying someone else sucks is like an elephant whining about how big a mouse's ear is.

I believe they are certainly expecting problems in that area of the world.

Are you being facetious, or just stupid?
Ballistic missile submarines have been around for almost 70 years.

The US and Israel are just getting prepared, due to threats from Iran, Hezbollah and Houthi rebels in Yemen. It is rumoured that Iran has been slowly, since Hamas Oct attack, amassing enough weapons grade uranium to make small nukes, and this is why their threats are being taken more seriously.

Sabre rattling. Sends a very clear message to Iran: we’re dispatching a weapon near you which you cannot detect.

They've had the capability of carrying non-nuclear cruise missiles since the 70's dummy.

Cruise missiles are not ballistic missiles.

Los Angeles class attack subs can launch tomahawks and harpoons but not multiple warhead ballistic nuclear missiles. That's what the big boomers are for.

Converted SSGNs (guided missile submarines) are converted from Ohio class nuke subs. Right now we have at least four of these: the Ohio, the Florida, the Michigan and the Georgia. They can carry up to 154 Tomahawks. These subs are homed in the SUBPAC command.
