The sub is tomahawk-capable and those tomahawks are nuclear warhead-capable.
It's just one of the ways we're playing with (nuclear) fire.
Previous incidents with nuclear-powered and/or nuclear-armed subs have come close to ending the world previously.
- astura 5y agoDude, you have no idea what you're talking about. First off, the USS Connecticut is a fast attack submarine so it doesn't carry nukes. Only boomers carry nukes (and only while on mission) Secondly, tomahawks haven't carried nuclear warheads in 4 decades. Thirdly, you can't check your phone onboard a submarine, it's essentially a farday cage. (Assuming they were at comms depth to begin with). Finally, there's no such "previous incidents."
- readonthegoapp 5y agoI'm not eating a pizza right now. But I might be soon. Nobody _actually_ knows if I am going to eat a pizza, but they _do_ mostly know that I am _capable_ of eating said pizza. Which is why the local pizza shop stays prepared for what they consider to be a virtual invitability - which is smart. Which is exactly what I said, so please stop with the strawman stuff. And, I'm not surprised that someone on HN can't take a joke (re: the loo comment), yet am somewhat surprised you think phones stop working below the water line. As for previous incidents, you need a read a book. Or the news. Or just get off faceobok for a minute. There's a whole world of knowledge and understanding out there.
