Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 336 pages. Taller in length than the Washington Monument, wid er at its center than a three-lane highway, the 18,750-ton Triden t nuclear submarine is the most complex war machine the United St ates Navy has ever produced: a $1.8 billion marvel crammed with m ore modern military technology than any other vessel in the world . Deep beneath the ocean it can sail for months, undetectable to enemies. Now for the first time, veteran Time magazine correspond ent Douglas C. Waller -- granted more access to one of these awes ome submarines than any journalist before -- penetrates the silen t, secret world of nuclear subs, taking you on a tension-packed, three-month patrol under the Atlantic Ocean inside the U.S.S. Neb raska, fondly nicknamed Big Red. In chilling detail, witnessed th rough the eyes of the men on board and told in their own words, B ig Red reveals the top-secret procedures for starting World War I II, including secret codes, elaborate fail-safe mechanisms, and h ighly classified battle tactics for nuclear combat. It's a ride y ou'll never forget.
