Re: Conventional subs & such


My CO called conventional subs "manned mines."

An accurate description I think. They can't move far quickly but
for crowded waters and restricted chokepoint areas, they're pretty
effective.

US naval strategy has not chokepoints that the US needs to buy equipment
to defend. Our allies tend to though (UK, W.Germany)
