Naval War College Review
Abstract
Several decades ago, when the fleet ballistic missile submarines were first commencing their patrols, copies of a certain seascape were distributed. Subtitled "Polaris on Station," it showed an empty ocean and a gull wheeling above the gray waves. The painting was a favorite of Admiral Arleigh Burke, then CNO, who saw to it that it came to the attention of many.
