I believe there's a larger [and newer] one in China. Andy's [AE6Y] wife
is an astronomer and astrophysicist and I she mentioned it in a really

I suppose the question is why not rebuild it if the capability (or an upgraded

submarine costs well over $3B. We build those, even if it is in small numbers.
It’s a matter of priorities … and pretty small $$ in the big picture.
