I'm going to the christening of the new U.S. Navy nuclear Virginia-class attack submarine USS Texas SSN-775 in Galveston, Texas, tomorrow. I'm no defense analyst, but do we need another nuke sub?
...next to flying machines, subs are one of the most fascinating of mans creations, I want to go in one someday...my Dad used to tell me he was a cook on a sub in the war, but they kicked him out after he left the screen window in the kitchen open on a 'dive'...
Maybe you'd like to VISIT a sub, but you'll never want to RIDE in one. However, nuclear ballistic subs (SSBNs) are 1000x better than attack subs. There's all sortsa goodies in there to try to keep the crew happy.
