Mini-Submarines as Nuclear Bomb Package Delivery Vectors (The Gomar Khan Factor)

Since 1996 a variety of home-built semi submersible submarines have been fabricated to deliver cocaine to the United States from Columbia. Many of these large smuggling vehicles are apprehended by legal authorities, perhaps some are not. The potential for manufacturing very small, completely submersible drone craft to deliver a nuclear bomb to a harbor city such as San Francisco, Los Angeles or Anchorage Alaska, Boston or Washington D.C. via the Chesapeake Bay is manifest. Launched from an approaching ship, fishing boat or seafood processor offshore, made to carry at bomb at a set depth such as 400 feet at a slow speed, the minimal drone submersible travelling along may methodically make its way to the harbor to explode.

We believe the engineering and fabrication capacity for production of minimallly detectable mini-submarines is well within the ability of numerous fundamentalist Muslim terrorist organizations. If launched over the side perhaps 100 miles from the U.S. coast, or from international fishing boats in the Gulf of Alaska, successfully delivery of a drone, automatically guided mini-submarine nuclear bomb package is evident. Besides the Mexican border infiltration route, the undersea route is also quite real.

The Bush administration in 2008 produced a Homeland Security measure to defend against small boat ingression of weapons deliver packages by terrorists, yet we remain unconvinced that a foreign fishing vessel in international waters beyond Kodiak could not introduce a mini-submersible drone to crawl up Cook Inlet to Anchorage, or alternatively from the Grand Banks into Boston Harbor.

Pakistan has about 100 nuclear warheads and has miniaturized some for use on missiles. It is increasing its plutonium producing capacity, nad manufactures a significant about of plutonium. The Nagasaki bomb used in World War Two had only 6 kilograms of Pu-239. A good plutonium bomb needs only 8 to 11 kilograms, and the Pakistanis spike their bombs with tritium, and a few ounce of that makes a nuclear bomb 300% more explosive.

Making a mini-submarine drone able to deliver a 30 to 40 pound bomb of U-239 doesn't seems that difficult. With the I.S.I., the Taleban, al Qa'eda and a plethora of additional terrorist groups good buddies, perhaps new border security control measures should be taken to screen out the big bang the first time it's launched.
