Kings Bay was the home of America’s old Atlantic ballistic submarine force for some decades after the Second Great Depression. All of them were retired due to expensive maintenance or lost due to equipment failures as time went by, though Georgia has never released the records. Georgia does not even have the records, and Kings Bay keeps them on air-gapped servers behind cybernetic systems who consider it their mission in life to keep anybody from accessing them. Nobody outside Kings Bay’s senior leadership knows when exactly the last of the old ballistic submarines were retired, because boats of the same name continued to operate. They replaced the old Boomers with much smaller submarines that were far cheaper and easier to operate, and eventually expanded the numbers of the fleet. Each sub had far less magazine space than the older Boomers, but the missiles they had were smaller and could still reach anywhere on the globe. They could no longer kill all of America’s enemies ten times over by the end of the century, but Georgia had far more limited resources than the America that built those old Boomers. What they built was sufficient to their needs.
