Book Description
The arms race at sea is a dangerous nuclear race which is causing growing international concern and must be brought under control. What are the hard facts about the situation? This book documents the realities of the competition - especially the nuclearization of naval forces - and dispels some of the myths surrounding the naval arms race. This incisive analysis of naval forces of the East and West concludes that, contrary to common perceptions, the US and its allies have a considerable military advantage over the Soviet Navy, a trend which is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. The authors describe in detail the widespread nuclearization of naval forces of all five nuclear navies, analyse the implications for security and arms control, and conclude with suggestions for possible arms control measures.

Book Description
The growth of the terrorism threat to the nation's security has created significant strategic challenges for U.S. armed forces in fighting this global war on terrorism (GWOT). For the Navy, the challenges have centered on developing maritime capabilities to prosecute the GWOT as far forward as possible. To assist the Navy's planning in this area, the former Chief of Naval Operations requested the NRC to conduct an assessment of the adequacy of and prospects for improving the role of Naval Forces in the GWOT. The study developed a defense-in-depth framework as the organizing principle for the report. The report contains information as described in 5 U.S.C. 552(b) and therefore could not be released to the public in its entirety. The public version consists of an executive summary that presents an assessment of the transformation of naval forces for addressing the GWOT; a brief description of the defense-in-depth framework; and a list of findings and major recommendations.

Book Description
This report responds to your September 24, 1987, request, and subsequent discussions with your staff, to review the acquisition status of the Navy's Trident II system. The first Trident II system. The first Trident II submarine's initial operational capability (IOC) date is scheduled for December 1989. It will be armed with the D-5 missile, the Navy's newest and most deadly ballistic missile. The Trident II system will substantially increase the capability of the U.S. strategic submarine forces to destroy nuclear-hardened targets, including missile silos and command, control, and communications centers. Compared to the Trident I system, the Trident II system is designed to hit a target with improved accuracy and greater explosive power. Our review, conducted from November 1987 through September 1988, focused on the status of each major Trident II Acquisition element, including the work completed and the work remaining to deploy the Trident II. These acquisition elements consist of developing, testing, and producing the D-5 missile and its associated systems; constructing the Trident II submarines; and constructing and activating shore support facilities, including dredging waterway areas, at Kings Bay, Georgia. You also requested a management study of the Navy's Strategic Systems, Programs (SSP) command and this work will be addressed in a later report. (See app. I for further information on the objectives, scope, and methodology of this review.).
