Rickover backs third nuclear carrier in Senate clash
Adm Hyman Rickover, father of the nuclear submarine, endorses the proposed CVAN 69 carrier, writing that submarines remain the Navy's foremast weapon and a modern attack carrier is vital to protect sea lanes. His letter to Sen Joly Stennis counters resistance within the Defense Department and Navy amid a vote over delaying the keel until congressional review. Air Force officials press overseas bases while arguing against carriers, citing 1,700 airfields worldwide with long runways.
