...Rules. But what to do? The Navy reacted in classic style by ordering the 85,000-ton nuclear-powered carrier Enterprise to show the flag in the Sea of Japan. En route at the time to Yankee Station in the Gulf of Tonkin after a stop in southern Japan, the carrier headed north instead, accompanied by the nuclear frigate Truxtun and several other escort vessels. Six or seven other warships put out of Yokosuka later in the week, presumably bound for the same area. Shadowing Enterprise, sometimes at the dangerously close range of 800 yards, was the Soviet trawler Gidrolog...
...distinctive electronic blend of propeller and engine noises, wake turbulence and magnetic fields generated by each individual sub. Thanks to Pueblo & Co., the Navy has nearly completed a computer-taped "library" classifying Russia's 450 or more subs, from diesel-powered Whiskey-class boats to the new, nuclear Juliett class. In the near future, U.S. naval commanders will be able to draw instant digital readouts that will identify any Soviet sub they can hear...

Pentagon photos of Pueblo taken after the ship's renovation in Bremerton, Wash., show advanced low-frequency antennas that would permit the ship to communicate with U.S. nuclear subs to a depth of about 100 feet...

Without committing himself, Clifford also supported such congressional pet projects -which McNamara opposed-as development of an advanced manned bomber to replace the B-52 and construction of a greatly expanded nuclear fleet of warships. He also expressed serious...
Diefenbaker gradually squandered his spectacular mandate, and in April, 1963, Pearson squeezed into power with a near-majority in the House of Commons. But to say that Pearson had won would be an exaggeration. His campaign, fought mainly on the issue of U.S. nuclear arms for Canadian bases (Pearson was for them), proceeded from inanity to embarrassment in a bizarre adaption of American public relations techniques...
