“BIG RED" Inside the Secret World of a Trident Nuclear Submarine. - By Douglas C. Waller. Now for the first time, veteran Time Magazine correspondent Douglas C. Waller––granted more access to one of these awesome submarines than any journalist before––penetrates the silent, secret world of nuclear subs, taking you on a tension-packed, three-month patrol under the Atlantic Ocean inside the USS Nebraska (SSBN-739) fondly nicknamed “Big Red.” The Nebraska is a $1.8 billion dollar vessel. This 18,750-ton Ohio-class submarine carries 24 ballistic missiles, each armed with nuclear warheads. In chilling detail, witnessed through the eyes of the men on board and told in their own words, “Big Red” reveals the top-secret procedures for starting World War III, including secret codes, elaborate fail-safe mechanisms, and highly classified battle tactics for nuclear combat. It’s a ride you’ll never forget! New Softbound edition. 378 pages, 32 black and white photos (each taken during this patrol), a USS Nebraska crew roster and an index.
