That is a surfer term, and it's "gnarly."

The CoC does appreciate PG from the GS helping us with surfing terms.
.
The CoC is appreciative of the sovereign relations with ROD, looks for a long and mutually beneficial and prosperous one. There was official protect of the boomer by CoC file, however, it does not carry any ballistic missiles, they are all cruise/other missiles. No nucs on this submarine. The two submarine that participated were appreciative of the opportunity to 'launch 30 AS cruise missiles at a target, unfortunately the attack sub was lost in the training exercise. After the engagement, debrief and cookout were beneficial for all despite the language issues with many sailors.
.
The 10 Ben Franklin Class subs are all believed to not carry ICBMs. Although that 'cannot be confirmed nor denied'. But it can be confirmed that they do have 4 torpedo tubes on each vessel, some have submersibles. Check Jane's All the World's Navies.

Since relations have eroded between Chad and Nigeria, fueled by the Oil discoveries in Lake Chad which is on the border between Niger, Nigeria and Chad. Despite efforts to reduce strain, the desire for the oil reserves and production of oil is too great. With the help of China advisors, Chad conducted an attack into a camp just west of the border for mining support operations were taking place and have for over 18 years. The Chadian camp opposite side of the border had its workers quietly transferred out at 2am, leaving equipment behind, they are about 3km apart.
.
The attack was conducted by about 20 T-55 and Type 59 tanks, along with infantry riding on top and following in trucks until the actual invasion took place. Over 20 workers were killed in the attack, over 100 people were captured while many ran away into the bush. It is not know if any Chadians were hurt or killed in the attack. "This is an act of war that will not be tolerated. Chad has issues with rebel groups and Somali incursions that it can not seem to take care of to protect its people. So they attack us over oil," said Governor Tombo. "Much of the equipment was destroyed or taken back across the border. As of now Chadian troops occupy the camp and control access roads into the camp. This cannot stand"

Not to nitpick here, but by definition, a "boomer" is a fleet BALLISTIC MISSILE submarine. Careless use of terms may lead to most-unfortunate incidents. Language does matter, particularly in marriage, diplomacy, and military operations. Just ask Bill what "is" is.

The NDA does not believe the CofC story that the Ben Franklin subs do not carry Ballistic Missiles as our Military knows from technical data the Ben Franklin class "BALLISTIC" missile subs carry's a payload of 16 Polaris A3, Poseidon C-3 or Trident C-4 Ballistic missiles each can carry a Nuclear Warhead.

Ah, CRAP!!!
I am not sure what is 'is' is supposed to be, nor what is is supposed to be in its original state of IS.
You are welcome to inspect a Franklin, your choice. They were made for ICBMs, but have been refurbished for crusie missiles, similar process as Florida, Georgia, Ohio and Michigan. Although we have 4 tubes on Fl and GA still with ICBMs. That is why they are so secret and hidden from y'all blimey @##$%@. This way I help NATO ward off Russia from attacking in Cold War II (Cold War 2).
.
Now its a WORD war. ..... oh, man. If word war, PG wins.
.
Now back to REALTY... the UIN.. The Chadian National Assembly has officially called the attack on the Oil Camp Timbukto a 'Police Action'. The claim is there were illegal drugs, prostitution and other high crimes being conducted there.

The GS is more than happy to win with words. After all, this is a FORUM! Words are cheaper than ammunition. Wouldn't Sun Tzu approve? As Ike said, you lose control of the outcome as soon as you commit troops. And CofC won't lose his precious Army to GS target practice.

I agree. I did call Sun Tzu, and he concurs with you. He said, "you were right on."
Words cost less than ammo and certainly attacking a city far away.

Assault Sub, SSGN Lewis was following a task force from Australia to New Zealand, We now know this from its release of transmission Aqua Drone, which 4 house later and 80km away from release point, electronic targeted burst transmission to satellite prior to its self- destruction and permanent submersion on the bottom of the ocean.
.
In eastern Nigeria the the Oil drilling camp, some of the local police and a few of the local army personnel advanced to the perimeter of the camp. They were shot by small arms and larger caliber guns. The vehicles were identified as Eland 90, possibly Eland 90 Mk 7 along with Eland 60. 8 police officer died on site or later after being pulled back. Over dozen wounded. Nigeria Army is having a difficult time getting soldiers moved to the area. The air force flew 2 Purcara B attack aircraft which conducted recon and staffing runs. Chadian casualties are unknown at this time, although a truck was apparently hit. One Purcara was hit in the starboard engine and wing making an emergency landing about 30 km away on highway. It was then hit by a truck killing the pilot and destroying any pictures in the ensuring fire.
.
Nigeria has called on the Commonwealth to assist in this incursion. It will take a day to get a plane flight in with soldiers and light equipment, two days with ground equipment.cross-country. A-4s, A-7s, and four F-8s flying in later tonight with a couple of cargo planes with some weapons, parts and ground crew. Initial base of operations will be Old Kaduna Airport, about 460 miles from Lake Chad. The runway at Old Kaduna Airport (OKA) is very long for larger aircraft to support operations.

Well, you ain't got the Gator State, yet. My crews eagerly await your arrival. Tanks have been serviced, boresighted, and zeroed. PLEASE provide us the target-rich environment they richly deserve. We have plenty of ammo and can service all of you! Nuclear charges are prepared, as well. You will have no shields to return upon. Any remains will be mailed to your various misguided countries via intercontinental ballistic missile, this time WITH appropriate warheads. Your wives and children will be billed for policing them. The football team may be on its a**, but THE GATOR STATE is most assuredly NOT! ARMOR UP!
