“The USS Columbia HAS SURFACED AND IS holding in position at 49.411841 latitude, 172.854078 longitude, about two hundred miles south of the Aleutian Islands and 600 miles east of the Russian Kuril Islands.”
Not sure how Holmes is getting his intel on this one. One of the keys to the SSBN part of the nuclear triad, is that literally the only people who know where a given boomer is, is the crew of said boomer. The Navy will have a patrol area that it's in, but the actual exact location is not known. I'm sure they can be order to give an position update, but that would be extremely rare/odd, as it violates all kinds of opsec. Something along the lines of a projected location with XX% certainty would be more accurate.

Good catch and a good example of writing with an idea in your head and not getting it onto the page. The sub is surfaced, so that it can be seen on satellite by Russia for the launch as the point is a public demonstration, not a covert launch. But I shoulda said that as above.
