Frankly one submarine can patrol and secure and deter an area several times larger then a fleet task group.

What you can't see makes you nervous

Beyond that you never make a foreign nation part of your primary defense strategy no matter how close we are.

America will promote and defend their interests before they promote or defend ours. And honestly America has its own interests in the Arctic that don't serve our interests.
