Seems everyone is building submarines lately.
In U. S. Navy history, the word "Missouri" and "Battleship" are almost automatically together.
But the newest warship to carry that name won't be a battleship.
It will be a submarine that's 25 percent longer than a football field, goes at leat 28 miles an hour under water, and will operate with a nuclear power plant that will not need refueling for about thirty years.
