Submarine Memphis Launch Highlights Détente Debate
The nuclear powered submarine USS Memphis was launched at Newport News with 7000 spectators as Speaker Rep Robin Beard warned detente weakens US naval power. Beard tied the event to shifts in ship counts since 1970 and the rise of the Viet Nam era fleet, declaring detente a dangerous illusion. The ship, christened by Cathy Beard, will cost around 225 million and join 39 Los Angeles class subs under construction at Newport News and Groton.

Landlocked States Press Ocean Access at Sea Talks
Landlocked and geographically disadvantaged nations push for coast access and shares in a 200 mile economic zone as United Nations negotiations on the law of the sea face a stiff new challenge from 49 landlocked countries seeking fishing and mining rights through neighboring states. They warn the talks risk losing access to the richest parts of the sea unless coastal states grant routes to the ocean and limited rights within the economic zone.
