That's a long way across open ocean.

Only to arrive and be unsupportable....

Did you not live thru the cold war?  Oh, wait,.  You had options and spent the late 70s & 80s coked up and smoking dope.  My bad.  You need to stay ut of military tactics and strategy.

AI Overview
In the late 1980s, Soviet submarines in the North Atlantic shifted toward a "bastion" strategy, protecting nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) near home waters while advanced attack submarines like the Akula and Victor III sought to close the acoustic gap with NATO. Despite high-profile efforts like the 1987 Operation Atrina, these forces faced increased detection by US forces.

And it was the same in the 70s.
