Well, considering im not an expert, and im Canadian, ill put in my input.
Although the Americans love their Air Force, and face it, its the most advanced one in the world. But a submarine is different. A submarine carries more firepower than a plane. It can travel an infinite distance as long as it is supplied, and can stay under water for an infinite number of time. With a sub, you also have stealth, much more than a bomber. A submarine can go anywhere in the world as long as there is water, and can deliver a massive amount of firepower to any location in the world with stealth. That my friend is the justification for spending billions on a new submarine. Oh, also the fact that subs help in the war on terror, and are good intelligence gathering vehicles help as well.
