...Unfortunate Speech." Jimmy Thach finished out the war as air operations officer of the loo-ship Fast Carrier Task Force, first under Admiral Marc Mitscher, then under Admiral John S. McCain. Five years later, he commanded the escort carrier Sicily off Korea, and in 1955 he went to the Pentagon as senior naval member of the Defense Department's Weapons Systems Evaluation Group. "Forget the Navy," Arleigh Burke told him then, "and think Defense...
...member union from his late father, "Big Bill," as a sort of family property, to explain by next November why he refused to answer McClellan Committee questions. Under indictment in Indiana for conspiracy to bribe a state highway official, Hutcheson and other Carpenter officials turned a fast 200% profit by buying right-of-way land for $40,000, selling it to the state a few weeks later for $120,000. Also, in memory of his father, Hutcheson paid a hack writer $310,000 from union funds to write an official biography of Big Bill...

Should a submarine be hit at top speed by another ship, the result might indeed be disaster. But in port, the experts argued, no ship would be traveling fast enough to penetrate the heavy shielding built around the reactor.

...deeper. Conventional subs now dive about 750 ft., and some advanced models are capable of 1,000 ft. One growing antisub problem is that present sound gear penetrates accurately to only about 800 ft. Another is that depth charges sink too slowly (14 ft. per second) to hit a fast sub sailing deep at high speed, and the explosion is reduced by pressure. U.S. submariners are also reportedly anxious to design a vessel capable of operating as deep...
