Well the range could be 0 miles since NY is on the East Coast.
But it would be 5 minutes or less for an ICMB.
Timing mats ?
US responds.‘Undersea supremacy’: US commissions $2.7bn nuclear submarine ‘Illinois’ https://www.rt.com/usa/364712-nuclear-submarine-illinois-commissioned/
US Navy tweeted: Welcome to our fleet, #USSIllinois. You are the #USNavy's newest, quietest, and most capable and deadly submarine! #PlatformsMatter
The $2.7 billion black behemoth is the 13th ship in the Virginia class of attack submarines to be included in the US fleet of just over 70 subs stationed around the globe. The vessel weighs nearly 8,000 tons and is slightly longer than a football field at 114.9 meters (377ft) in length. It has a 10.3 meters diameter and accommodates a crew of over 130.
It's target is "those who would deny freedom", whatever that means.
US Navy tweeted: To those who would deny freedom, their worst day will be when they appear in crosshairs of #USNavy and #USSIllinois
The naming is intentional, there are plenty of crooked ties to Illinois politics.
Michelle Obama, sponsor of the submarine, gave the order to “man our ship and bring her to life,†before the seamen mounted the underwater vessel.
The Japs and Yanks have orbiting particle beam satellite that can knock out the whole Russiansub and surface fleet in a matter of hours. The problem is if one missile gets trough then there goes Lawrence Livermore, UCLA, Cal Tech, UC Berkeley, USC, UCSB, UCSD, UC Irvive, Stanford, and Los Alamos.
Dude you forgot Sandia, and Los Alamos is really far away. Makes no sense. Maybe area 51?
I ate a meatball submarine yesterday with sprinkled parm. cheez, so take one of Italy's off the map.
