If your goal is to sound like a middle manager armed with an MBA from DeVry and PowerPoint 97 it's fine. Otherwise, it's stilted, grammatically clumsy, and unclear.
Something like "Static forces are easily bypassed or targeted and destroyed" would be far better. It's clear, concise, and targeted to an audience who most likely doesn't sit around reading monographs about the OODA loop from the transformation era.

The main "counter" really is to take the fight to the enemies center-of-gravity: Outer space. At some point, it will simply become practically impossible to fight and win a war with only air/land/sea forces. Even leaving space surveillance aside submarines are likely to be the backbone of future fleets.

Even leaving space surveillance aside submarines are likely to be the backbone of future fleets. In the not too distant future submarines will shed one of their principal limitations, limited ability to communicate while submerged. And it can be reasonably expected they will continue to increase their maximum silent speeds.

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like you just described all of academia.

You bring up an interesting point. It is better here that the vocabulary be adjusted to current and/or future individuals unfamiliar with the various ideas and concepts that arise in these threads from time to time or should said individuals be introduced to the complexity of the language and their associated concepts immediately even if that may result in the vocabulary coming off in your own words as “stilted, grammatically clumsy and unclear”?

Ye, not every sub can carry trident tho :x
True but a vertical gun probably takes up more space than 3-4 Tridents in little launch modules though.
774 can take Trident by form factor and that is basically a 688 with a new anechoic coating and some touch screens.
Unless you can make the vertical gun really little (like Gotland or Blekinge class SSK) then I don't really see the value over an SLBM tho.

Honestly I'd say that coup was their patriotic duty. I mean, it's not like they tried to bring France down or something. They were defending what was left of the French empire from the weakness and moral defeatism of its people. Had they succeeded maybe France would now be leading Europe instead of marching down the road to becoming a province of Germany along side the rest of us.
Why would you need artillery fire support from a submarine you can put missiles in? I think the problem is coming from far too much multi-role, not enough specialists.New Vihenia wrote:It's not gonna need to reach orbit but one can potentially use it as a say.. artillery fire support the same manner of what USN think for Zummwalt.
