Well unless there is a reason to you’re probably not giving up bases but what I mean is that in terms of geopolitics the US is shifting remaining away from Europe. The region no longer supports the US interests (logistically or otherwise) because all the future action is in Asia. > The first sub is not expected to be in service before 2040. Right. So if you wanted to say that wasn’t meaningful, then they wouldn’t do it because the timeline is perceived to be too long. But I think they’re operating on longer time scales. But also this is just one action of many. Wouldn’t surprised to see something like a joint US, UK, Australian base in Australia or similar.
