WNU Editor: Unfortunately for the US, they have only 3 'Seawolf' type submarines in their fleet.

Good thing we cancelled the program after only 3 were built. Because, you know, the Cold War was over. How's that looking now? About like cacelling the F-22 program, that's how. What a bunch of forward-looking jerk offs.
