Most significant for a global fleet, Okean 1975 tested "command and control" communications networks employing satellites and satellite relay. Using a mixture of very high and very low frequencies and linking even submerged submarines, the Russian navy apparently achieved near-instant communications. That would be a considerable asset in Gorshkov's "first salvo" concept, in which scattered Soviet fleets are supposed to undertake simultaneous attacks within a 90-second period...

Unlike Lindsay, who was always feuding with Governor Nelson Rockefeller, Abe Beame gets along well with Governor Hugh Carey - an asset in a city that receives almost one-third of its budget from the state. In addition, the city's ambitious comptroller, Harrison Goldin, an earlier critic of Beame's financial housekeeping, has quieted down to help out in a time of need...
