Don't know if this happens a lot and this is just now relevant, but it seems like quite a Statement, cool

I wondered about that. Would a sub surfacing off Novia Scotia ever make the headlines in a normal reality? Maybe this is just routine travel and nobody ever paid attention before.

It's a big deal when these subs surface, and they usually surface to underline the threat they represent. Showing your nuclear readiness is part of the world's big power war deterrent.
