As Orlando was a town highly inundated by Navy types until BRAC shut down the NTC (don't even get me started), I knew a lot of submariners back in the day and to a one they told the old saw about how a US ballistic missile sub could find a tropical island and set up shop as the world's 4th most powerful nation.
I wonder which one of them was overheard by a powerbook-wielding hack out in California who was in turn responsible for this show?
