They're not thinking. They're in kneejerk mode, because of what happened in Victoria. Personally, I'd be surprised if the proposed legislation survived any examination by the courts.

I'm currently reading Oathbreakers, which is a history book about the Carolingians (Frankish Kings). Very interesting.

It will not only answer who is 007, and what is 007, but also how is 007, and why is 007.

Except at 2am. And 3am. And 4, 5, and 6am. On the hour, every hour. We have an alarm cat* and it's cat o'clock.

A nuke sub operating there for a couple of months is still better than a DE that leaves after a week (presuming it can reach that far at all).

We deploy our subs for blue water not just littoral use. They patrol up as far as the South China Sea. Nukes allow us the stay on station for much longer than DEs.
