   The fact that they were detected and that information released suggests   
   that this is not a good thing for the Russians, as for seabed warfare I   
   am sure the crabs and lobsters are terrified   
      
   As for ignoring the issue the US East Coast and GIUK gap have been a top   
   priority for years which is why the number of ASW Frigates and RN   
   nuclear submarines have been increased. Even the UK Labour party is   
   pressing for naval expansion. In the meantime of course Finland has   
   joined Nato and Sweden is in the process of doing so.
