Do often wonder...why retired military are given suggestions where to retire...easier to round them up ?
Evidence? Are they clustered like a lot of retirees in warm places?

Which is why our military aircraft are not lined up and are easily scrambled.
And of course enough ballistic missile subs are on station, with 24 missiles each and with up to 8 warheads on each missile.
Britain has it's own fleet of US manufactured subs.
Every military on the planet with a Google Machine knows this:

In 2011, Ohio-class submarines carried out 28 deterrent patrols. Each patrol lasts around 70 days. Four boats are on station ("hard alert"in designated patrol areas at any given time.[6] From January to June 2014, Pennsylvania carried out a 140-day-long patrol, the longest to date.[7]
Trident submarines serve as the sea based nuclear launch system of the Air, Land, and Sea Nuclear Triad supported by the US government. The U.S. currently has 14 nuclear-powered Trident ballistic-missile (SSBN) submarines.
Trident submarines are 560 feet in length, or nearly two football fields. Each submarine can carry 24 submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) designated Trident D5 and each missile can carry up to eight 100 kiloton nuclear warheads (about 30 times the explosive force as the Hiroshima bomb).
