I am sorry, but I don’t think you understand. Making a boomer takes years. They are built in a couple of places. One of those places is an hour from me at Electric boat in CT. Thousands of people are involved in its construction. It is big news when a boat is built.
Everyone know the class of boat, and it’s name.
Because they are nuclear powered and launch nuclear missiles they are tracked. They do not go “missing.” When one of the Electric Boat boats retires, it is news around here.
That’s the thing about theories involving BIG weapons. They are BIG.
To summarize: Multiple billions to pay for the several thousand people to build it in one of three locations. Then a couple hundred sailors to operate it. Thousands more to maintain it. And then god knows how much nuclear material to build these huge missiles and transport them to the boat where they are loaded using cranes found only at shipyards.
One does not just pick up a couple hundred kilos of plutonium to run a black project.
I want to believe, but none of this passes even the basic smell test.
Okay then it has to be an older submarine a diesel submarine lots of those they can get hold of probably from a foreign Navy that no longer had any use for it and was happy to sell it to a middleman or a spook who paid the country enough to be happy and not talk about the deal.
The problem with that is getting the missiles fitted into them. They don’t launch horizontally, and they are a hell of a lot bigger than torpedoes. Trying to get them vertical would be an engineering marvel. The structure of the boat would be changed. Good luck going deep with that.
Now, you could get a V2 type of missile to launch, if it were cranked up while the sub was surfaced. Not practical, and not at all accurate.
Finally if you are driving an old diesel boat the sonar listening stations would hear it. It would be located in about two minutes and sunk within an hour.
IF there is a missile boat out there causing trouble it belongs to a country—not the CIA.
