And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The absence of the hatches is why I think it's a SSGN rather than a SSBN. I see your point about the length but that might be a result of the low camera angle. An Ohio is the only US submarine I could think of with this casing and port stern fixture.
Looks like an Ohio SSGN boat.
ReplyDeleteLittle short for Ohio class, no missile hatches that i can see
