  Hey, why do you think I moved to Boston "smaller target"
Massachusetts?	And then moved 50 miles from ground zero?  I'm not
THAT stupid!

  True enough.	It's harder to justify subs in space (although cloaks
are part of the official, if optional, FT rule set).  Of course in
real life subs are detectable, too.  One hopes that our attack subs
would have been able to remove the Soviet submarine menace before any
missiles were launched.  But I guess that's wishful thinking at best.
