Is the cold war really over?

Huh. So Ivan is back. The patter of DW mission designers' feet can be heard as they scamper off to their consoles.

As a former Trident sailor, I learned that the Cold War never ended. While the world rejoiced at the fall of communism, nothing really changed except for the name of one of the players.

Hmm. I would ask you to tell more about your post-Cold War patrol expriences, as the subject interests me greatly, but I suspect that you can't without risking time in prison.

You can always ask, and if I can't tell you I won't.

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.

Aside from that, were you SubLant or SubPac? And is the GIUK Gap still an epicenter of submarine ops like it was in the 70's and 80?

It's all good if you can't tell me.

From what I understand the cat and mouse games never really stopped.
