Summary: The article argues that the US Navy’s 688I Los Angeles-class attack submarines were built for anti-submarine and surface-ship hunting, but the Soviet war scenario never arrived. It says the class instead became a land-attack platform, with Tomahawk missiles making it decisive during the period when that mission mattered most.
