I think independent operations are the norm. Sure, I think there would be more than one US sub in the GIUK/Norwegian/Barents Sea areas, but, they would still be operating independently in their missions. Missions may be supportive and one sub may go to help another, but general separation would be the norm.
All that "independent" being said, I wish there were more story lines for missions and some new missions. Just more depth and attachment to each mission, particularly the unique missions that can be developed.
Missions I am talking about might be exfiltration of people or materials, picket duty or surveillance and reporting. Their have been encounters where I turned away from engagement, but I could have reported the Russian presence. Having a way to report back could assist with mission creation.
IMHO
