| #10 Don't forget that 30 years after the war ended, there was still one Japanese soldier evading capture on Guam... |

| #9 Once again, I'm more concerned about all the USDOD strike assets around CONUS that are in stand-down due to the sequester. E.g PEARL HARBOR 12/07/1941 = the US Pacific Fleet can't come to MacArthur's rescue in the PHIL, i.e. from EASTPAC to WESTPAC/East Asia, iff the same fleet [heavy capital ships] is sunk or mostly sunk at its home base/port back in Hawaii or US West Coast = CONUS, now can it??? The US expected Japan to strike close to home, to include the PHIL + Guam, BUT NOT AS FAR EAST AS HAWAII LET ALONE THE US WEST COAST = CONUS. OOOOOOOOOPPPPSSSSSS ... ... FYI UOG's Professor Ron McNinch believes that it is highly unlikely the DPRK has anything that can hit Guam at this time - HOWEVER, PROFESSOR MCNINCH THINKS THE DPRK MAY BE ABLE TO THREATEN GUAM WID SUBMARINE-LED "INFILTRATING AGENTS" [DPRK SPECOPS + Fifth Columnists] WHOM WILL LIKELY WORK TO "DESTABILIZE" + SABOTAGE GUAM'S LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE. |

| #8 Would the Norks be daft enough to do a Cheonan 2 type scenario but with nuke payload . All the rhetoric about "cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means of the DPRK" around the time they leave the naval base near Nampho ? That being said , all are on high alert this time . |

| #7 "Yuri, you lost two more subs?" A play on one of the memorable lines from "The Hunt for Red October". A great sub movie in spite of starring Alec Baldwin of the Film Actors Guild. |

| #6 EC's point is well-taken. "Overcome by ...gases, the crew succumbed" |

| #5 Come on now....they can stay submerged a lot longer than that. The Hunley stayed submerged almost 150 years... |

| #2 Roger the comments: "The two 'torpedo' subs are small 130-ton, 30-meter, 10-man machines that can stay submerged for three-to-four days." Come on now....they can stay submerged a lot longer than that. |

| #1 Funny comments, but what easier method to slip a nuke payload offshore to a carrier? |
