Atomic Sub To Convey Alaska Oil
General Dynamics has designed a nuclear powered submarine to transport oil from Alaska and Arctic islands under the Northwest Passage to Greenland or Newfoundland. The 255000 ton submersible tanker would carry about 1.8 million barrels per trip and could operate within five years, with build sites in Groton Connecticut and Quincy Massachusetts. The plan aims to ease oil supply disruptions and reduce storage needs amid talks with oil leaders and the U.S. government.
