Rickover Warns Soviets May Top U.S. In A Subs
Vice Admiral Hyman Rickover warned the Soviet Union may lead in undersea power and condemned a State Department plan to sell used nuclear submarines to allies. He testified before the Joint Atomic Energy Committee in March, cited security gaps in Europe, and said Soviet subs and propulsion tech could shift the balance. He noted Moscow asked for a CDC6600 computer from the U.S. for a Serpukhov accelerator project, a request Rep. Holifield’s panel blocked. The remarks accompanied Senate debate on a 19.2 billion defense bill funding submarines and ships, with critics urging spending cuts.
