Then I guess Armenian Sugar will have to seduce you back to PoW.

That logic is valid for ships that use batteries to power their engines when submerged (ie U-Boat VII and variants without a Snorkel) where the batteries have less output than the diesels when surfaced. However, in modern times, where submarines are powered by engines that can run in both states (surfaced and submerged) they either loose a few knots, or even go faster submerged than surfaced. As well as being engineered to be hydrodynamic when submerged

We don't use diesels anymore, so US subs are 100% nuke. And yeah, they're designed to go fast underwater. You're correct.

What does text translate to?

"Hello :)"

Because the presidential candidate that had the popular vote (in the end he lost to the rigged incumbent) would go out and shake peoples' hands and say that. So they adopted that as the reform slogan.

|Speed: 45 kn maximum, 30 kn cruising
|Crew: 789 (73 officers, 716 enlisted)
|Motto: Freedom through Dominance
|Other: Designed in anticipation of conventional conflicts with powers in the Pacific, the Navassa Island is an experimental "large cruiser" that focuses on using overwhelming firepower to defeat increasingly-advanced vessels from, say, China. The resurgence of naval guns reflects a new shift to frugality in the Navy, using gunfire support as opposed to expensive Tomahawk missile strikes (even if the ability is still found on the ship.) As such, sensors and countermeasures are considered to be top-notch to counter new and anticipated designs from foreign nations. The Navassa Island's primary focus of strike group command allows it to lead a flotilla to engage and destroy enemy targets in extreme offensive measures, while its armament suffices for carrier group escort as well.

I'll get to the rest later, maybe with schematics to go with the app.

Meanwhile, the Hayrenik had the absolute cutest revolution last summer:

Surname is Armenian. First name isn't.

If anything, I'm seeing a sort of "Pacific Pivot" coming back to conventional warfare as opposed to low-intensity operations (although those still have a place), meaning that in addition to LCSs, LPDs, and the small Virginia-class submarines we're going to be seeing a possible resurgence in some of the larger ships like cruisers and whatnot.
