This illustrated book covers the complete history of the United
States' Los Angeles class attack submarines from initial design and
construction, through testing and trials, to its current
operations. The nuclear-powered USS Los Angeles (SSN-688) class
attack submarine represented the lead ship of the largest group of
vessels constructed for the US Navy during the Cold War, and was
purposefully designed for anti-submarine operations against the
Soviets. Sixty-two boats were built and launched between 1976 and
1996, and the class continues to serve in force to this day. The
exclusive and extensive photographic coverage of the boat's
interior is featured here for the first time. Details of the boats'
armament includes: four 21" bow-mounted torpedo tubes supporting
the Mk 48 ADCAP torpedo series; Tomahawk (BGM-109) cruise missile;
and Harpoon (UGM-84) anti-ship missile capability. The author's
unprecedented access allows the reader a first time view of these
submarines.
