I found this thread because I was just pondering the same thought...why wouldn't we put part of out nuclear deterrent in the Great Lakes and other Deep water lakes like Lake Tahoe and Crater Lake? It makes perfect sense. Any sub based nuclear platform placed in these locations would be invisible and out of reach of enemy navies and air forces. So they would be very cost effective...they would require no self defensive weaponry like torpedoes or defensive missiles. They would be stealthy being able to remain at great depths and remaining out of sight almost 100% of the time...there little or no need to ever bring them to port ...they could be resupplied and remanned by ships disguised to be commercial in nature from multiple dispersed locations and done only at night. Or even resupplied covertly by supply subs completely underwater so that nobody ever was even aware they were there. This could even be done in lakes in Europe, like Lake Geneva, etc...
