Submission + - India launches an indigenously built nuke sub
tovarish writes: India became the sixth country to build a nuclear submarine. My point of view is that even though there are millions of Indians dying hungry it is still OK to invest in high technology weapons since byproducts of this research can often prove very helpful in the future. Notable examples are nuclear energy, internet and email etc. The primary role of a nuclear submarine with nuclear strike capability is to have a retaliation strike capability (if land/air based options are destroyed in a first strike). What do other slashdotters think of nuclear submarines. Will this event further arms race in the world.
