The Today Show Completely Lacking Clue About Missile Subs

So I'm sitting here watching The Today Show, and Ann Curry lets loose with this nugget about ballistic missile subs:

"While the main mission is stealth deterrence, if called, they have the capacity to launch a nuclear attack."


What the f^*k do you think "stealth deterrence" is?! Bumping off whales? Checking to make sure Guam is anchored to the seabed floor? Stealth deterrence *is* the capacity to launch a nuclear attack, from a place the enemy cannot pre-empt.

Can we try for some precision in our wording, please?
