Exactly. Too much cost, not enough bang. Gimmie the four Ohio SSGNs any day of the week. 600+ TLAMs will ruin anyone’s day. 

Was that REALLY Hulk?

Only one of those two are not coming back from the trip north of the wall. It's the prophecy of Azor Ahai...

Yeah but there are a lot of goddamn swords and suits of armor laying around...

The Ohio class, and especially the Trident-II, really significantly changed the deterrence game. For the first time, you had SLBMs that could achieve pinpoint accuracy from a mobile submerged platform. With their ability to conduct depressed-trajectory attacks that would rain down highly-accurate warheads with as…

Excellent summary.

This is a REALLY stupid and shortsighted decision because we don’t have any place to forward deploy these weapons. NATO sure as fuck isn’t going to let us deploy them in Europe and South Korea and Japan REALLY sure as fuck won’t let us deploy them there, so where would we put them?

Face ID: Can you just use a regular unlock code or do you HAVE to use Face ID? I’m curious because of phone security. I don’t want cops to be able to unlock my phone just by sticking it in front of my face...

Is the ratio of the berg 1:4:9?

Two of them... Well actually three...

You bet your ass there’s a rush... They need to have him confirmed because this is, under their own doctrine, the last chance they are getting. If the GOP loses Congress, they are fucked in terms of getting any more judges through...
