		Tango Bravo is a technology demonstration project intended to lead to the design of a new attack submarine having all the capabilities of the Virginia-class boat, but would be half the size and built at half the cost (see article, p.
		Submarines are the original stealth weapon and for decades have been a primary intelligence tool of the United States.
		Armed with defensive missiles, submarines would be able to move close to an adversary’s launch sites, increasing the opportunity to shoot down an attacking missile in its initial phase of flight, reducing risks to our nation.

		The first submarines to arrive in Hawaii came in 1914, when four F-class boats were towed from San Francisco to Honolulu, later to be replaced by four K-class submarines, which operated from Kuahua Island in Pearl Harbor from 1915-1917.

		Submarines were renamed in 1911, however, and carried alpha- numeric names such as A-1, C-1, H-3, L-7, and the like until 1931, when "fish and denizens of the deep" once more became their name source.

		In addition to testing the submarine’s equipment, the crew of Virginia has been looking forward to the first chance to take the lead ship of this class to sea.
		For example, the projected man-hours to complete Virginia are about two-thirds of those for the Ohio and Seawolf class submarines, and only exceed original estimates by about 20 percent, as compared to nearly 80 percent for Seawolf and 65 percent for Ohio.

	Bronstein Class
		The Bronstein class ships operated the QH-50C DASH from commissioning and after their sonar upgrade to the SQS-26AX(R), received the QH-50D variant of DASH.
		The desire to regain the speed yet maintain the ASW capabilities of the BRONSTEIN led to the development of the 19-foot-longer GARCIA class DE whose pressure-fired 1200 PSI boilers allowed their 2 Foster Wheeler/ de Laval geared turbines to generate 35,000 shp resulting in the 27 knots the Navy wanted.
		The Bronstein class incorporated the same 600 PSI engineering plant as the Dealeys, but interestingly even though they were considerably larger, they were slightly faster than the DEALEY's as well, probably because the large bow-mounted sonar gave them a more efficient hull form.

	★ Reviews of books about arctic
		Lyon's vision of submarines operating under the ice, even before nuclear-powered submarines, was remarkable, and his lifetime persistence to convince the navy to continue under ice operations was unbelievable.
		If you are not familiar with submarines, you might find it interesting that the young men that hold the wheels that control the submarine's depth, angle, and course are the most junior people on board.
		As the number of sophisticated, high-endurance conventional submarines continue to proliferate around the world, it remains to be seen if the Department of Defense and U.S. political leadership will heed Lyon's counsel and restore the submarine force to the numbers required to meet current and projected operational requirements-and sustain the U.S. Navy's Arctic preeminence.
