“It’s a bit more complicated than that, but essentially, yes. The plane can carry bombs, but that’s not what it’d be using. A while back, there was a program called ‘Rods of God.’ It basically involved placing these twenty-meter-long rocket-assisted tungsten rods on a satellite in space. We could then have the satellite aim at a hardened underground bunker or a target that was heavily defended and release the rod from space. The rod would fall through the atmosphere, gaining in speed. Once in the upper atmosphere, a rocket on the back would power up and help the rod accelerate to speeds of up to Mach 20 or roughly fifteen thousand miles per hour. When it hit the target, it’d be like hitting it with a three-hundred-kiloton nuclear warhead, only without any of the nuclear fallout.”
James Rosone, Monroe Doctrine: Volume II
“Weapons, reload all tubes. When tubes are reloaded, fire tubes one, two, and three at Master One—same mission. Fire tubes four, five, and six at Master Two—same mission!”
James Rosone, Monroe Doctrine: Volume II
“He decided to go for broke. “Fire tubes four, five, and six at Master One. Set to active sonar and cut the wires!” Before the command could be echoed, Takahashi was already barking his second order. “Fire tube three at Master Two. Set to active sonar. Cut the wire. Fire Sea Wasps in tubes one and two to projected intercept course with the Chinese torpedoes and set to shallow proximity detonation!”

“Her task force had closed to within visual range of the Northern Fleet, but in doing so, they’d taken crippling losses. Only five of her original eleven destroyers remained, two of which were badly damaged. She’d started the battle with six frigates; now only one was still actively in the fight. The Korean corvettes that had joined them had all been destroyed. Only one of the PKG guided-missile killer patrol boats had returned from their charge.”
James Rosone, Monroe Doctrine: Volume II
