		At a time when the submarine fleet is shrinking, there aren't enough subs to put alongside existing docks that have been bought and paid for by American taxpayers and must be maintained whether empty or filled.
		Kings Bay could easily absorb the Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarines that berth in Groton and at Norfolk because they are smaller and more maneuverable than Tridents, and they carry conventional cruise missiles.
		Kings Bay's contingent of five subs will eventually be augmented with two converted Tridents —; the USS Florida and possibly the USS Georgia — but the trick in a community whose fortunes are so closely tied to the Navy is surviving the two years it will take for both to arrive, McNeill said.
