Beyond that, they give us a MUCH greater ability to control our interests everywhere in the world.

Can you provide an example of an interest "everywhere in the world" that we'd need a nuclear sub to exercise "control" over?
The Arctic, I can kind of get that (although since global warming is a myth, I do find that a little odd), but it sounds like there are other places we need to control.
