  • The Strategic Missile Submarine Force and Apl's Role in Its Development
    JOHNM. WATSON THE STRATEGIC MISSILE SUBMARINE FORCE AND APL'S ROLE IN ITS DEVELOPMENT The U.S. Navy's Fleet Ballistic Missile program is one of the largest, most successful weapons systems development programs in our country's history. In the thirty-seven-year span of this program, three generations of increasingly capable weapons systems (Polaris, Poseidon, and Trident) have been developed and deployed. Contributions to these systems have spawned three of the technical departments at the Applied Physics Laboratory: Space, Strategic Systems, and Submarine Technology. INTRODUCTION The U.S. Navy's Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) program, begun in 1955, is recognized today as the cornerstone of the U.S. nuclear strategic deterrent. The submarine­ launched ballistic missile (SLBM) and its nuclear-powered submarine launching platform, the SSBN (submersible ship, ballistic, nuclear), provide a mobile, stealthy, long­ patrol-duration weapon system with enormous retaliation potential. This system provides a significant deterrent advantage over land-based missiles or aircraft systems because of its mobility and its ability to avoid detection in vast ocean patrol areas, thus remaining invulnerable to a surprise attack. The Navy's Strategic Systems Program (SSP), formerly the Special Projects Office (SPO) and the Strategic Systems Program Office (SSPO), has overseen the development and operational deployment of three generations of increasingly capable weapon systems (Po­ laris, Poseidon, and Trident), with six variants of the SLBM (Figs. 1 and 2). The success of this program is largely due Figure 1. A Trident II (D5) submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) is launched off the coast of Florida. The D-5 missile is the to the uniqueness of the sSP organization itself, the vision latest addition to the U.S.

    Edition Axel Menges GmbH Esslinger Straße 24 D-70736 Stuttgart-Fellbach tel. +49-711-574759 fax +49-711-574784 [email protected] John Zukowsky New Military Museums 128 pp. with 260 illus., 242x297,5 mm, hard-cover, English ISBN 978-3-86905-015-7 Euro 39.90, £ 35.90, US $ 46.90 Museum architecture has blossomed over the past few decades. Art museums lead the way in terms of new buildings by superstar architects such as Frank Gehry, Herzog and de Meuron, Jean Nou- vel, and Renzo Piano, among many more. Those facilities have received public and professional recognition through media atten- tion and design awards. But other museum typologies exist, one such being for buildings that showcase military history and artifacts. All too often, one thinks of these as unsophisticated in their design and amateurish or antiquated in their exhibitions. Nowadays, noth- ing can be further from the truth. This volume examines more than thirty of them internationally that were constructed over the past two decades and more. The museums are featured in individual entries and lavish color photography. Some were designed by in- ternationally renowned architects such as Norman Foster, Daniel Libeskind, Skidmore Owings & Merrill, and Robert A.M. Stern, but many more are the products of creative, accomplished designers. Beyond the architecture of these museums, exhibition and installa- tion designs by noted specialist firms such as Ralph Appelbaum Associates, Koosmann.dejong, and Gallagher & Associates, among others, have raised the bar in terms of immersive experiences for their visitors. New military museums presented within the book are examined Distributors within the context of the history of war memorials and military mu- seums, the latter being a less well researched subject.
