Pueblo's unprepossessing, 179-ft.-long hull is fitted out with the latest in sophisticated ELINT equipment-globe-girdling single-side-band radio, hyperaccurate radars, sonars and navigation instruments. Another primary aim of the "spook ships"-espionage satellites like Samos and spy planes like the U-2 -is to be "painted" or "illuminated" by enemy radar, whose beams fall on the ship's sensitive receivers. Those signals are taped and sent back to Washington for detailed analysis.

When completed, the new tanker, made in Japan for the U.S.'s National Bulk Carriers, Inc., will pack an incredible 2.2 million barrels of crude oil on her route from the Persian Gulf to Ireland, via the Cape of Good Hope. By building her, at a cost...
...seen them play this year, Gill was mightily impressed with his new teammates. "They really want to win," he said. "They all give 110 percent." That being the case, Rookie Gill himself could do no less. Last week against Chicago, he blocked 20 shots and held Bobby Hull scoreless as the Bruins handed the Black Hawks their first loss in eleven games...
