Submarines Are Not Sub-Anything Else

Ricks has a nice post today about the evolution of the US submarine force, but it is sad because it is motivated by the death of a beloved "squid."

As a longtime sub-groupie, I found this quite striking.  And yes, I added another sub to my list while I was in Australia--I got to check out a cold war era Aussie diesel sub, after visiting several WWII subs in the US and one nuclear attack boat at Groton thanks to Skipper Jim.

Anyway, check out the brief post at ricks.foreignpolicy.com.
