	USS Ethan Allen (SSBN-608)
		USS Ethan Allen (SSBN-608), lead ship of her class, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Ethan Allen.
		To make room for the new Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines within the limitations of SALT II, Ethan Allen's missile tubes (and those of other earlier ballistic missile submarines) were disabled and she was redesignated an attack submarine with hull classification symbol SSN-608 on 1 September 1980.
		Ethan Allen was decommissioned on 31 March 1983 and stricken from the Naval Vessel Registry two days later.

	SUBMARINE FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Nuclear powered submarines and other large submarines are classed as ships, but are customarily referred to by their crews as ''"boats"''.
		The first military submarine was ''Turtle'', a hand-powered egg-shaped device designed by the American David_Bushnell, to accommodate a single man. It was the first verified submarine, capable of independent underwater operation and movement, and the first to use screws for propulsion.
		Submarines did not have a major impact on the outcome of the war, but did portend their coming importance to naval warfare and increased interest in their use in naval warfare.

	Ethan Allen class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ethan Allen class of fleet ballistic missile submarine was an evolutionary development from the George Washington class.
		Together with the George Washington, the Lafayette, the James Madison, and the Benjamin Franklin classes, they comprised the "41 for Freedom."
		Rather than being designed as Skipjack-class attack submarines with a missile compartment added, the Ethan Allens were designed from scratch as fleet ballistic missile submarines carrying the Polaris A-2 missile.

		Submarines are spared during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, making the submarine force indispensable.
		It was to the Submarine force that I looked to carry the load until our great industrial activity could produce the weapons we so sorely needed to carry the war to the enemy.

	Station Information - Benjamin Franklin class submarine
		The Benjamin Franklin class of submarine was an evolutionary development from the James Madison class of fleet ballistic missile submarine.
		The class was created in the early 1980s when its members, built as James Madisons, were upgraded to an improved propulsion plant and the ability to carry the Trident C-4 missile instead of the earlier Polaris A-2.
		In the early 1980s, to make room for the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines within the limits set by SALT II, the missile tubes of Kamehameha and James K. Polk were disabled.

	Station Information - George Washington class submarine
		Together with the Ethan Allen, the Lafayette, the James Madison, and the Benjamin Franklin classes, they comprised the "41 for Freedom." The December 1959 commissioning of George Washington (SSBN-598), the class's lead ship, gave the United States a stealth platform with enormous nuclear firepower, a powerful deterrant and weapon in the Cold War.
		The United States Navy ordered a class of nuclear-powered submarines armed with long-range strategic missiles on 31 December 1957, and tasked Electric Boat with converting two existing attack submarine hulls to ballistic missile-carrying boats to quickly create the deterrant force.
		In the early 1980s, to make room within the limitations imposed by SALT II for the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines, George Washington, Patrick Henry, and Robert E. Lee had their missiles removed and were reclassified as attack submarines, a role in which they served for several years prior to decommissioning.

	Nuclear-powered Ballistic Missile Submarines
		Until Trident II became available in 1990, however, the new submarines were equipped with Trident I. Well over twice the displacement of their predecessors, each of the 18 Ohio-class SSBNs carried 24 missiles.
		The Ohio class was designed specifically to carry Trident II missiles, which are much larger than Poseidon or Trident I missiles.
		Submarine building proceeded at a furious pace in the early 1960s, as the United States strove to deploy a major component of its Strategic Triad.

		ICBMs are based either in missile silos, which offer some protection from military attack (including, the designers hope, some protection from a nuclear first strike), or on submarines, rail cars or heavy trucks, which are mobile and therefore hard to find.
		Each submarine is equipped with a complement of 24 Trident missiles, eight with Trident I missiles, and ten with Trident II missiles.
		The French Navy constantly maintains at least four active units, relying on two classes of nuclear-powered ballistic submarines (SSBN): the older Redoutable class, which are progressively decomissioned, and the newer Triomphant class.

		A ballistic missile submarine is a submarine equipped to launch ballistic missiles (SLBMs), typically nuclear-armed and long range (ICBM).
		Ballistic missile submarines differ from attack submarines and cruise missile submarines; while attack submarines specialize in combat with other naval vessels (including enemy submarines and merchant shipping), and cruise missile submarines are designed to attack large warships and tactical targets on land, the primary mission of the ballistic missile is nuclear deterrence.
		SSBN is the United States Navy's hull classification symbol for a fleet ballistic nuclear missile submarine.
