i wonder if a harpoon could be aimed at an airplane, tho.
looking for chain of command.
the non-nuke chain is very short.

starts with the TSC?
TSC (authorized to call a strike)
Flag Officer (in charge of fleet)
Fire Controlman (presses button on the sub)
If i read this correctly, the general order is TSC (could be washington DC?) to fleet command (could be that navy base in washington) and directly to the triggerman.
if moments after, WASH removed…either the TSC or Flag Officer might have been the originator of the order.
thoughts?
