The systems developed for isolated and insulated bunkers, say Site R
or the now being abandoned Cheyenne Mountain, were always vulnerable
to failure after fairly short periods of use. The hundreds, thousands, of
emergency generators installed since 9/11 won't last long due to
fuel shortages if all are needed at the same time, and because such
machines are known to be subject to breakdown pretty soon after
start-up. Worse, many of them don't work at start-up, just big
decorations of illusion of back-up according to operating engineers
who are forced to buy them and maintain them by insurance companies.

Compare the power and communications needs for ships and subs to
see where NSA and probably other critical agencies want to go now that
the vast homeland does not provide sufficient protection, indeed has
called attention to vulnerabilities long known that were protected
only by whistling in the dark.

NSA is saying the magical intonation, obscurity is security, hiding in
the illusory safety of a giant continent, is and has always been
a grand deception. Hiding underground works only if there's
infrastructure to make it livable. A nuclear submarine is the
future of national security architecture. And it will be appropriately
godawful-expensive

The same infrastrucutre threat is true of the Pentagon and all military
bases and pubic safety and health complexes. The curious underground
project by the Navy in East Potomac Park across the Potomac from the
Pentagon could be, among many other guesses, a nuclear power station.
Right now all of DC is vulnerable to infrastructure attacks.

Keep that quiet, don't put it on the Internet.
