Nothing new. In the 60's Switzerland had it's own Nuclear program, it had exactly 2 goals.
1st: Being able to deliver a nuke to Moscow.
(That was sole reason we choose the Mirage3 back then)
2nd: Nuke our own country in case we're overrun.
Make sense, since we don't have an offensive army[or even the capability,lol].
Speaking of killing your own: The handgun each military officer carries is nothing but a "moral enforcer".
Torps:
During the Cuba crisis, the Russian subs were equipped with nuclear torpedoes - the decision to fire them was up to the captain, no need for an ok from the politbüro.
Don't you think they would also work pretty well against a flotilla/carrier group?
