Russian admiral: Numerous US nuclear subs signals imminent strike on Iran

January 14, 2007

A former Russian Black Sea Fleet Commander believes that the US is likely to strike soon at Iran's nuclear facilities.
Admiral Edward Baltin was quoted by news agencies as saying he believed the presence of so many US nuclear submarines in the Persian Gulf meant a strike was likely.
Last week the British newspaper, The Sunday Times, reported that Israel was preparing to use tactical nuclear weapons to take out the Iranian programm.


Mid-range sub missile booster tested

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Demonstration testing was completed recently on a new booster for a U.S. submarine-launched, medium-range ballistic missile.
Lockheed Martin and ATK announced Monday that the SLIRBM test met all technical, cost and scheduling requirements and completed two static firings last summer at ATK's test range in Utah.
The SLIRBM (Submarine Launched Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile Booster System Demonstration) has thus completed the system trade-study phase and is now waiting for the green light to move on to subsequent phases, which could include flight tests and underwater launch tests.
"Our team not only developed and tested the motors in record time, but also identified cost-reduction strategies for motor design and operation with no sacrifice in performance," said Tory Bruno, vice president of Lockheed's Strategic Missile Programs unit. "This demonstration gives the Navy an important foundation for further development of this potential new capability."
The solid-fuel booster is designed to carry a missile at supersonic speed and be on target within 15 minutes of launch.
The SLIRBM is projected for the Ohio-class submarine as a surprise-attack asset that can hit targets virtually anywhere in the world. The proposed system would be able to deliver conventional and nuclear payloads and would give the Navy a platform for short-range cruise missiles, long-range nukes and medium-range SLIR missiles with a range of about 1,100 miles.
Modernizing U.S. submarine missiles to 21st Century scenarios has been a bone of contention in the strategic arms world; the notion of long-range missiles being adapted for conventional warheads would give the United States a stand-off punch against rogue nations and terrorist hideouts, but it also raises arms-control treaty issues and the possibility that China and Russia could mistake a conventional launch for the start of World War III.

Very nice, thanks for the effort.

Sub’s top officers reprimanded in deaths

NAPLES, Italy — The commander and the former executive officer of the submarine USS Minneapolis-St. Paul received punitive letters of reprimand Tuesday, following a hearing on the fatal December incident in which two sailors were swept off the sub’s surface during bad weather, a Navy official said.

However, a preliminary rundown of the investigation indicates that the oil tanker’s high speed created a sucking flow, known as the “venturi effect,” that made the sub rise and collide with the ship
Interesting. :hmm:

[danlisa]

Thanks. :up:

Can you put these news items into your other thread, that way they're all in one place so we can follow them? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=103866

[Konovalov]

Interesting reading. In addition to what Danilisa mentioned it might also be an idea to use a smaller font as that one is quite large. :)

[Gizzmoe]

I´ve changed the font size and merged the threads. And, LTD.KUNNINGHAM, before you post news articles please check the copyright status, if the article is copyrighted only post a few lines and then the link to the article, so people can read the rest. Also put the text inside quote tags, or use italics, so that it´s clear that we read a quoted text and not something you wrote yourself.

I was under the impressiont hat once an article is posted on the internet for public consumption it was part of the public domain thus free to be reproduced anywhere....?

Just curious.

No, check for example the "Terms" page of CNN.com, BBC.com or even Subsim. Some news sites don´t even allow people to post direct links to news articles. Actually everything on the internet is copyrighted, unless specified otherwise.

[Enigma]

wow, interesting. I've been breaking the law for years! :lol:

[baggygreen]

I do like the idea

But copying and pasting news from the front page of subsim.... hmm i think thats a spacewaster.

The on this day thing from the first post, now that was interesting.:up:

next time ill add the copyrighting.. allrite?

[baggygreen]

oh the copywriting isnt an issue for me, but i spose you might wanna cover yourself legally just in the ridiculously unlikely event some legal type with too much time on his hands stumbles it and wants to get you...

i meant more... well i go to the homepage first, read the articles, then come in here. I know a lot of other people do as well. so, posting that which is something we've already seen could get repetitive.

Im not trying to detract, dont get me wrong, like i said i found the this day in history thing quite interesting! more..... constructive criticism. but hey, its only my opinion.
