Dolphin.

This is coolbert:

Read here, here, and here my previous blog entry on the Israeli Dolphin class submarines. Believed to be armed with nuclear weaponry.

Thanks to the DEBKAfile just from the other day [July 7, 2009, 9:43 PM (GMT+02:00)]:

"Israeli sub said armed with nuclear-capable torpedoes navigates Suez Canal"

An Israeli nuclear [??] equipped submarine has just transited the Suez canal. This is an event worthy of the news? And that "nuclear-capable torpedoes" should actually read, "nuclear-capable" cruise missiles fired from a torpedo tube!



There is a message being sent here? The Israeli navy has three such Dolphin class conventionally powered submarines. BUT carrying cruise missiles that have nuclear warheads?

"The Dolphin-class attack submarine is reported to be the first Israeli naval vessel to transit the Suez Canal in four years on its way from Haifa to Eilat last month"

That force of three submarines would normally consist of one on station in the Mediterranean, one on station in the Indian Ocean or Red Sea, "somewhere", and one in port during a rest and refurbishment period.

This current move bolsters the submarine forth that can "move out" in case of a decision being reached with regard to the nuclear potential of Iran?

"since the Israel Navy lost the Dakar submarine near Greece in 1968, all Israeli subs are armed when they move out of harbor"

ARMED IN THE CASE OF THE DOLPHINS, WITH CRUISE MISSILE TIPPED WITH NUCLEAR WARHEADS, AND READY FOR ACTION?
