It's is widely known that the Sturgeon and LA class of boats have hardened sails and the ability to rotate their sail-mounted dive planes to a vertical position for breaking through the ice when surfacing in Arctic regions. My question is why?
I understand that if we were dealing with missile boat (during the cold war Russian boomers would hide from American HKs under the ice and when the order came would punch through and launch their missiles). But why an attack boat?
