Battle Station. Outsiders are not, of course, permitted on the combat patrols. But just before the Ethan Allen departed on its two-month journey, TIME Military Correspondent Louis Kraar did have a rare opportunity to accompany the sub on a week-long shakedown cruise. His report...
Through the icy, grey-green waters of Scotland's Holy Loch, past the Argyll highlands and into the North Atlantic slipped the nuclear-powered SSB (N) 608-more popularly known as the U.S. submarine Ethan Allen. From the wind-whipped surface it nosed silently into the world beneath, a world where time itself hung motionless. Aboard were 16 Polaris missiles-with a total destructive power greater than all the bombs exploded in World War II. The Ethan Allen, on what its captain called "a full wartime footing," was setting out on its regular 60-day patrol...
...nine deployed Polaris submarines, the Ethan Allen and five others were on patrol last week.

The location of the subs on patrol is known only to a small circle of top military and Government leaders. All that most of the crewmen and officers know is that they are somewhere within their missiles' 1,500-mile range of Soviet targets...
...first effort was a 23? Arabic version of Edward R. Murrow's This I Believe, published in Cairo in 1953. The first edition of 35,000 copies sold out the first day. Franklin has gone on to feed the Middle and Far Eastern appetite for books ranging from Ethan Frome to Gone With the Wind, from The Spirit of St. Louis to The Universe and Dr. Einstein.

...Polaris blast from the submerged submarine Ethan Allen that excited Washington. It proved that the U.S. has a nuclear warhead that can survive re-entry into the atmosphere, that a regular submarine crew (previous non-nuclear Polaris firings have been by specialists nicknamed "Ph.D. crews") on virtually undetectable routine patrol could receive sudden orders to fire, send its birds 1,400 miles across the water and hit on target with a force of 500 kilotons...
