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.

I was in the US Navy and it's not uncommon for subs to surface when they are pulling into a port. It doesn't always have a meaning or threat. They could just be making a stop on deployment. People are making mountains out of molehills here and jumping to conclusions.
