This is why the British and the Americans coordinate the positions of their submarines. The French, however, keep themselves out of the loop. "France releases no information at all," says a navy spokesman, "because the nuclear arsenal is the absolutely decisive element of defense."

The recent crash, however, could spell an end to this secretiveness -- especially now that France will rejoin the NATO military command structure in April.

That leaves the Russians. The 173-meter (567-foot) Dimitry Donskoy, for example, is the world's largest strategic submarine. It has twice the displacement of the Kursk, which sank in 2000, and enough nuclear warheads on board for any conceivable disaster. According to the Russian daily Komsomolskaya Pravda, the Donskoy could "simultaneously destroy dozens of cities like New York, or level half of Afghanistan."

... the day france joines again the nato military alliance ...
... is going to be a sad day ...
... because it will mark the day ...
... of europe as a "colony" of the united states ...

... unfortunatelly the modern folks there ...
... are neither as patriotic not as wise ...
... as De Gaulle was ...
