If airborne becomes undetectable, whats the advantage of the slow submarines?
Submarines are rather more self sufficient than aircraft, I would think. Also, if I were to pick one of the top three "Bomb these first" targets for an attack, airbases would be way up there.

Whereas not knowing where an SSBN may be lurking until it's launched throws a spanner into my plans somewhat.
