plus if any of the boomers survived - and given a Russian one did then surely at least one or two US ones did - you could use any unused Tridents for launching satellites - and you can make a relatively unsophisticated satellite that still offers useful info - again all depends what you have access to and who you have access to

I regard these scenarios as plausible.
