But the military significance is great, may solve the major problem of missile shots from submarines: determining the exact distance and direction from the sub to the target. Cruising underwater far off the beaten track and out of loran's range, a nuclear submarine will be able to poke a whip antenna above the surface, take a fix on the nearest Transit satellite, and blaze away with lethal accuracy...
