Abstract

Admiral Holland and I have shared an ardent zeal for the nuclear attack submarine since I was his student almost thirty years ago. It is a wonderful naval platform with great potential as an instrument of war; however, his enthusiasm and mine notwithstanding, the modern nuclear submarine's potential remains unproven.
