Mobile Planetary Defences: Meson Subs

On the topic of deep meson sites:

Check out the vehicle archives.  In there somewhere is the Herbert Dean
class Meson Submarine.  Essentually, a sub with a spinal meson gun.
She sits on the bottom connected to a geothermal power station.   There
were supposed to be lots of these stations available, and the subs
maneuvered from station to station changing their position rather like
the old idea of having the MX missile on railway cars.

The geothermal plant will leak no neutrinos for the attackers to find.
And her operational depth is below 1 kilometer, out of range of
densiometers, and even if somebody brings a TL 16 densiometer to bear
on you with a penetration depth of 10 km, the sub is the same overall
density as the water it displaces, and in addition, is sitting on the
bottom.  VERY hard to find.

She had quite a few meson communicators to provide links to remote
sensors.

A rather difficult proposition as a target.  Ok, she can't maneuver
very fast, but you gotta *FIND* her first...
