Something That Needs To Be Reversed Quickly

A friend sent me an email with the link to the following story. It is a story from 2013 that illustrates some of the things that went on during the Obama Administration that were a danger to our national security.

A website called the Federation of American Scientists posted an article on March 18, 2013, about the removal of the nuclear Tomahawk land-attack cruise missile (TLAM/N) from our submarines.

The article explains:

The evidence comes not in the form of an explicit statement, but from what has been deleted from the U.S. Navy’s instruction Department of the Navy Nuclear Weapons Responsibilities and Authorities (SECNAVINST 8120.1A).

While the previous version of the instruction from 2010 included a whole sub-section describing TLAM/N responsibilities, the new version published on February 15, 2013, contains no mentioning of the TLAM/N at all and the previous sub-section has been deleted.

The U.S. Navy is finally out of the non-strategic nuclear weapons business. The stockpile has declined and a substantial number of TLAM/N warheads (W80-0) have already been dismantled. [Update 21 Mar: FY12 Pantex Performance Evaluation Report states (p.24): “All W80-0 warheads in the stockpile have been dismantled.”

Please follow the link above to read the entire article.

The email I received had been forwarded to me. Here are some of the observations of the original sender:

US Navy finally admits to NO LONGER having Nukes on Board Subs.

This is the Now Missing third Leg of the US Nuclear TRIAD.

Having NUKES on US Navy Atomic Subs was one of the USA’s strongest deterrents in preventing a Nuclear War.

Now that it’s gone (thank you Obama) we have a Major Flank NOT Protected (similar to our NO boarder protections).   

I pray God will keep us safe, especially from the fools (current administration) that have done away with our Nation’s Military Protections.

Hopefully the new administration will remedy this situation quickly.
