Navy plans to enlarge Polaris submarine support fleet
The Navy seeks funds in the defense budget to build a fifth tender ship and convert a floating drydock to serve larger Polaris submarines. Vice Admiral Charles D. Griffin told the House Armed Services Committee that a total of six tender ships with craft will be needed for 41 submarines, with two tenders already in service and others under construction. The plan supports floating bases to supply and repair submarines without returning to the United States, and to preserve basing in case foreign policy shifts threaten overseas stations.
