IF we were to station subs in the Great Lakes, we really wouldn't care whether the Ruskies would know about it. . .

Once there, they would be practically invulnerable. I've always wondered why we didn't station them there. We wouldn't even need all the complex quieting technology that 'open ocean' subs require.


As they say in the Soviet Navy, "Nyet so fast, comrade."

One nuclear warhead per Great Lake (e.g, just part of a MIRV's load) and the entire fleet would be lost due to shock damage. Now, the enemy has to find the subs in a much larger volume, before single warheads can do that much damage.
