Does this count as "Militarization" of the Police Force?

This has to be a joke. What does a police department need a sub for?

Clearly, the lack of anti-aircraft capabilities will limit this boat's capability to interdict the diobolical plots hatched by parasailors.

Pretty obviously a joke, but easily disproved when you realize that no Virginia-class subs have been decommissioned yet. That said, I want one!

I agree that is why I posted this obvious joke, but it is funny how manny people will actually believe this.

Having served on these things for most of my career, there isn't a bit of doubt that this is a joke.
