Well, okay. What I really want to ask is if the USN was still conducting missile partols up to the internationally-recognized 3-mile limit of territorial waters. I am sure that you cannot tell me that, though.
To that I'll say the Federation of American Scientists lists the range of a Trident II missile in excess of 4k NM. Also I'm not a Golden Dragon.

Aside from that, were you SubLant or SubPac?
SubPac, Group 9, Squadron 17

And is the GIUK Gap still an epicenter of submarine ops like it was in the 70's and 80?
Not being in the Lant or on a fast attack I really couldn't say, but I don't see why that would change any.
