| At random: "The Turkish skipper of ex-USS Tang, when asked about the difference between the German designed and built replacement boats for their retiring ex-US boats, is reported to have said, "American submarines are built for war, German submarines are built for export." |

| Subject: RE: Tactical nuclear weopons Steamboat........YEP!!!!! Lots of countries have them.....IRBM or cruise missile would be typical method of delivery. 21st century cruise (non nuke) missiles pack more than enough bang to take out single targets like warships etc.... But not a CVN..........unless she's successfully attacked by a stream of these missiles.....Old Russian SS-22-N, Moskit missile, NATO calls it the "Sunburn," is a very high speed cruise missile. It was already delivered to China, she has them mounted on the Russian Sovremmeny DDG's she bot from Russia. Countries like China, Russia, Israel, the US and I'd venture to say Brits, French and NATO folks have "some" tactical nuke capability in addition to the BIG nukes....... India is rapidly building her long range Bramos cruise missile capablility, she already has a nuclear capability.....India supposedly is "renting several Russian Akula nuke subs." The danger to US Navy CSGs and ESGs would come from a quiet DE or AIP equipped boat using a nuke tipped cruise missile. The world ain't a very nice place right now..... Tincanman.  | |||

Bob Melley Tincanman That ain't the scary part - ours are in good hands. It's the quality of the FOREIGN governments that have them that scares me. More so than when I was chauferring ours around back in the '70s and '80s. And that the Ruskies and the Frogs are not as strongly opposed to Iran having Nukes as we are - makes you wonder if that's where Iran is getting its technology. | ||
