FILE - In this July 13, 2007 file photo, French Marine officers wait atop "Le Vigilant" nuclear submarine at L'Ile Longue military base, near Brest, Brittany. Stealthily cruising the ocean deeps, deliberately hiding from the world now in turmoil, the crews of nuclear-armed submarines may be among the last pockets of people anywhere who are still blissfully unaware of how the coronavirus pandemic is turning life upside down.
"They won’t know,” said retired Adm. Dominique Salles, who commanded the French ballistic submarine squadron from 2003-2006. “The boys need to be completely available for their mission.” “The commander, I think, is doubtless informed about what is happening. I don't think he'll have all the details," he said.
For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. But for some, especially older adults and people with existingFor submariners, the return to land could be a shock. The doctor was underwater in 2012 when an Islamic extremist killed three French paratroopers and later killed a rabbi, his two young sons and grabbed an 8-year-old girl and shot her in the head. Only later did the officer learn of the attacks, “so when people talk to me about it, I find it impossible to imagine,” he said.
Salles said the situation now will be toughest for any crews that leave harbor in the weeks ahead, because they'll know they are leaving loved ones in the midst of the pandemic and, possibly, still living in lockdown. The French government has already extended its stay-home orders once, to April 15, and said it could do so again.
Gee, it’s no wonder, I mean 👇🏻
Years ago, I'd heard that UK missile subs rose to message dept to listen for BBC. If off air, World War 3 probably started or the world ended. These may interest some:
No. They receive periodic tactical, strategic, and other updates. They have trailing wire antennas, clandestine data drop schedules, and more. The question is whether or not the commanding officer is allowed to, discouraged from, or chooses to not say anything b/c of morale.
They’ll repopulate the earth when come back and we’re all dead from the pandemic. They’re the future of the human race.
