And how exactly does having a small circle of airspace that only goes
to 2,500 MSL protect these nuclear submarines and warheads?

By giving the on-site defense forces an area where they are authorized to
use deadly force, with or without the use of a warning shot.

A prohibited area does no such thing.

Even assuming deadly force was available, this particular prohibited area
isn't large enough to afford the theoretical deadly force to be engaged in
time to "protect" against an airplane.
