re: #145 Dark_Falcon
Just wanted to run it by you. Your instincts are always good so I value your opinions.
Russians never have run boomers (SSBNs) or SSGNs (cruise missile boats) up close to our coast, only SSNs. To provocative, boomers could use a depressed trajectory shot of the coast and reduce warning time to a couple of minutes, same with the SSGNs. They have run SSNs, the attack boats up close, testing defenses and scouting.
You can also bet they have shadows, either a 688 class or 21 class.
