Thank you. It all makes sense now. Wow.. that is DEVIOUS.

Sadly, as I am a rather socially inept person it is hard for me to understand if this is sarcasm.
As to the statement itself - this is not (exactly) what I talked about. In peacetime there are restrictions both for conveniency (ie use of standard inter-theatre deployment routes, G-loading and speed limits on aircraft, etc) and for operational security (ie use of advanced decoys, radiating for radars, etc).
Atrina and to lesser extend Aport are of interest because of how those restrictions were lifted and the results they have achieved (ie during Aport K-147 shadowing USN SSBNs for extended period of time, the interactions with NATO ASW forces). The other operation of interest in that respect would be operation Bohemoth, where a Delta launched a full SLBM salvo and thus proved that it was operationally possible.
But I guess one can just stick to one's sense of superiority, atleast as far as the secrecy and language barriers stay.
