I think it has something to do with cutting costs. If the U.S. Navy wants to save some money, I think it would be a better idea to mothball/scrap 4-6 old SSBN's. Not only would that save some money, but it would send a positive signal to the Soviet Union. Any other viewpoints/opinions on this? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Thomas R. Matzat ! ! ! Indiana University ! matzatt@silver.ucs.indiana.edu ! !
