Description

Douglas C. Waller (au). The Trident nuclear sub is the most complex war machine the U.S. Navy has ever produced, a $1.8 billion marvel crammed with more modern mil. tech. than any other vessel in the world. It can sail deep beneath the ocean silently for months, impossible to detect by the enemy. The 24 ballistic missiles on board just one of these subs have enough nuclear warheads to unleash twice the explosive energy detonated by all the conventional weapons in WW2. Now, Waller takes you on a tension-packed, 3-month patrol deep in the Atlantic Ocean & inside one of these Tridents. He reveals the top-secret procedures for starting WW3 -- the secret codes, the elaborate fail-safe mechanisms, the highly classified battle tactics for nuclear combat. B&W photos.
