There is in fact NO reason to risk your sub on mine fields etc. and getting so close to an enemy port, the only reason I could imagine is all your recon satellites being put out of action, so you must do espionage missions on your own, but that's hair-stretched already...An allied plane flying at 30.000 feet over the port, or bombing the port would be the better military option in that theoric case.

Oooops, sorry, I meant VLF has 600k yard range, not the TLAMs... So good skippers: back to work... |
Should be 600 nautical miles at least. Those maritime patrol planes should have pretty wide search grid by the time they close the distance. The problem is that you have to do it pretty much point blank with the plane minutes away.
