The Trident nuclear submarine is the most complex war machine the United States Navy has ever produced, a marvel crammed with more modern military technology than any other vessel in the world. Deep beneath the ocean, it can sail silently for months, practically impossible to detect. Now, for the first time, veteran Time magazine correspondent Waller takes you on a tension-packed, three-month patrol deep in the Atlantic Ocean and inside one of these Tridents, the U.S.S. Nebraska. Granted more access to these awsome submarines than any journalist before, Waller penetrates one of the most secretive worlds in the U.S. military. This book takes you into this closed society as a witness to secret rituals and life experiences where submarines, underwater for months, hope never to unleash the destructive power they command. 336 pages including 16 pages of photographs and an index. There is a 2 1/2" light black remainder mark on the bottom. The jacket has a small chip at the spine head. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
