Naval War College Review
Volume 40, Number 4 (1987) Autumn
Our cover depicts an imaginary scene involving the U.S.S. George Washington converted into an AGSSN (U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings, June 1985, p. 103). Her tunnel boom is extended 120 feet to the U.S.S. Whale (SSN 638), resupplying Whale with weapons such as the Mark 48 torpedo and missiles to refill her empty tubes and racks. This will save Whale a trip to the U.S. mainland. The two subs are in a "polynya" in the Arctic ice and fancy themselves alone and safe in the hands of passive detection modes of radar and sonar. Meanwhile, below the surface lies a Russian Alpha submarine, now listening, inert, but capable of 40 knots maximum speed. A new theater? A new scenario? Yes. A new world? Probably.
