The USS Pluck joined the MSO fleet on station late in the summer. A weapon designed to truly strike fear in the hearts of our enemies.Īs detailed in the his book, Wooden ships and iron men by David Bruhn, The largest submarine in the world, carrying 24 Trident I and Trident II ballistic missiles, capable of MIRV, which means each missile can hit several different targets at the same time, like a giant nuclear shotgun.
Then came the Trident ballistic missile boat USS Ohio. This was akin to today's global warming, only much much worse because it wasn't a theory, with half the nation in total belief-completely hoodwinked by a political weapon, and half not convinced at all.no, back then the fact remained that the Soviet Union had many thousands of missiles aimed at American cities, and we had many many more than that aimed at them. The world was sitting on the brink of an all out nuclear holocaust. This was happening at the height of the Cold War, something young people today will really not be able to understand at all. It was pretty important for the Ohio to have a "clean getaway, the problem was that the AGI was operating in international waters. It is well known that the Soviet navy would routinely deploy transponders in order to aquire an acoustic signatures of our subs. A well known Soviet AGI, CCB 468, the hydro-graphic vessel Gavril Sarychev. It started when the USS Ohio began sea trials to test the equipment and systems, via the Strait of Juan De Fuca, and Cape Flattery. One of the largest "battles" of the cold war involving the bulk of the west coast Minesweeper fleet, was underway right off the coast of Washington state! That was the headline in the Port Angles news paper during the late summer of 1982. SOVIET SUBMARINE CAUGHT IN FISHERMANS NETS,DRAGS TRAWLER BACKWARD!!!
