  Well!  That answers one question of how to nail the bases.  After having been
totalled several times, I finally got all my cruise missile subs away safely
until they were a mile or two offshore with the Russians having no idea where
I was.  So I launched every cruise missile at the bases.  I managed to injure
*one* to 10%.  Thrill of a lifetime.

  Still, it's true, if you are discovered, you are dead.  There will be air
assets over your head in no time flat, and it's the rare sub that can escape
the ASW aircraft one you are discovered.  It seems like it would be rather
difficult to get close to the subs.  If they discover you before you are
in their missile range, you won't last long enough to get close enough
for them to nuke you!
