	Permit class submarine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Thresher/Permit class of United States Navy submarines was the result of a study commissioned in 1956 by the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Admiral Arleigh Burke.
		The use of a new alloy steel, HY-80, increased the boats' test depth, and a redesign of the engineering spaces, with the turbines supported on "rafts" that were suspended from the hull on sound damping isolation mounts.
		The first submarine commissioned in this class was the ill-fated Thresher (SSN-593), and so the class was known by her name.

	George Washington class submarine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The George Washington class of United States Navy submarine were the first ballistic missile submarines in the world.
		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.
