FOR THE BAD GUYS,
THINGS JUST GOT A LITTLE UGLIER.
THE AV-8B HARRIER II PLUS. Few weapon systems have been so flexible and responsive in their support of America's frontline troops. Now, this battle- hardened warrior has grown even tougher. Nothing escapes its sight, thanks to an enhanced night attack system with infrared display. New radar lets it get to the action in any weather, defending itself along the way with the most advanced missiles— and directing a lethal payload with deadly accuracy upon arrival. And unique basing flexibility allows it to operate from the most remote land bases and the smallest of naval decks.
A superior night attack system, advanced avionics and a more powerful engine add a new dimension to its combat capability—and give tomorrow's Marine air/ground team affordable flexibility. Never a pretty sight in the eyes of America's adversaries, the new Harrier II Plus is harder than ever to face. © 1992 McDonnell Douglas corporation

From Wildcats and Hellcats to Intruders and Tomcats, Grumman fighter and attack aircraft have fortified carrier airwings for more than 60 years. Now it’s time for the next generation of strike aircraft—the AX, with long-range, all-weather precision attack capability.
For the next 50 years, no existing or planned aircraft will have the advanced features, combat punch, and mission flexibility of the AX. An affordable, versatile, multi-service AX is the means to meet our nation’s need for a strike aircraft. It’s the future of Navy aviation.
And your Grumman-Boeing-Lockheed team will ensure the best combination of strengths for the job.

During Operation Desert Storm, 17 U.S. Navy LCACs delivered enough a°mbat equipment ashore to support 2°,000 U.S. Marines while amphibious f°rces pinned down several Iraqi army j^isions. In one 24 hour period, the ^-DACs made 55 runs without incident jfospite heavy seas and prevailing 40- fo'ot winds. Under combat conditions, foe Navy/Marine Corps amphibious war- are team proved the over-the-horizon jfoctrine effective and demonstrated ^AC capabilities to project power ashore when and where needed.
. On the way home from Desert Storm, [OACs were again put to the test, this IIT|e providing humanitarian assistance after a cyclone struck Bangladesh.
United States’ sailors, Marines and soldiers used small boats, LCACs and helicopters to ferry food, clothing, fresh water, medical supplies and shelters to 1.8 million survivors. Fully loaded LCACs storming ashore gave the amphibious operation its name-Sea Angel.
From Desert Storm to Sea Angel, LCACs have proven effective in war and peace as these versatile, highspeed craft continue to perform beyond expectations.

From Washington, A Salute
It wasn't so long ago that Americans defied the press pundits and proudly displayed yellow ribbons to show their support for our forces in danger. And it seems like only yesterday that we cheered our hearts out for our heroic returning veterans from Operation Desert Storm.
But now the cheering has stopped. A Domestic Storm has blown up over allegations of sexual harassment by a few Navy fliers at Tailhook and by some Army men in the desert. Major media outlets have tried to whip up a frenzy that smears all those who serve in our U.S. Armed Forces.
And press hysteria has been matched by some on Capitol Hill who have used Tailhook as an opportunity to push their own radical agendas—including dropping the military ban on homosexuals and thrusting young women into combat.

We at Family Research Council want you to know that in this time of bitter recrimination and unjustified, politically-inspired attacks upon our military, we stand with you. We know that those who committed deplorable acts at Tailhook or in the desert represent but a tiny minority.

The Naval Mast Mounted Sight from McDonnell Douglas. This is a system that offers both visible and infrared capa- J bilities. And that means positive, immediate visual identification. Either day or night. It doesn’t matter « if the threat is a small, high speed gun boat, a \ surface mine, an attack aircraft or even a Silkworm missile.The NMMS identifies the threat, locks on, tracks and delivers fire control information to the ship’s weapons system.
BEST WAY
It’s technology that comes with impressive combat credentials: over 28,000 operational hours on 40 different fighting ships during Operation Desert Storm. The Naval Mast Mounted Sight fits any | size ship. It augments 5 * the radar system and
provides immediate visual ■0 information. And that could be the difference between 0' seeing the mine in time. Or just hearing it.

RICKOVEB EFFECT
"A most readable and valuable contribution that accurately portrays Admiral's deep sense of purpose, determination,
and hard work." - CDR Eleonore Rickover, USN, NC (Ret.)
Widow of Admiral Rickover
THE RICKOVER EFFECT How One Man Made a Difference
by Theodore Rockwell
foreword by ADM James D. Watkins, USN (Ret.)
More than anyone else, Admiral Hyman G. Rickover made nuclear power a reality.
Building on scientific breakthroughs of the atomic bomb project, he not only created the nuclear Navy almost overnight, he also built the world's first commercial nuclear power plant-all in a single decade.
Now for the first time, one of Rickover's closest associates tells what it was like to be
with this remarkable man day and night as he accomplished his miracles, and why he was .,
bitterlv opposed by so many powerful people. Using firsthand anecdotes and litde-known documents, Rickover s former technics director provides a fascinating, very readable account of those turbulent times. He takes the reader behind the "zirconium curtain" that protected Rickover s program from outside interference to observe the momentous, highly charged personal interactions that made Rickover both admired and hated.

Mk4l VLS: the system of choice for surface combatants.

-FMC
Defense
Systems
During the Gulf War, the Mk 41 Vertical Launching System (VLS) proved to be a major element in the projection of naval power. This single, integrated system selectively launches the TOMAHAWK cruise missile as well as STANDARD and ASROC missiles to counter any threat, whether air, surface, subsurface, or land-based.
Mk 41 systems are currently deployed aboard U.S. AEGIS cruisers, and DD-963 and DDG-51 class destroyers.
And more missile types are being integrated with the Mk 41 to add even more capabilities for the future. FMC expertise in missile canisters is playing a lead role in the Navy’s program to incorporate the SM-2 Block IV. In another effort, FMC and Martin Marietta are working with allied navies to integrate the VL-RIM-7 SEASPARROW.
FMC has also developed and tested multi-pack canister concepts with potential to multiply VLS load- out to meet more demanding AAW threats in the future.
A completely modular system, the Mk 41 VLS is readily adaptable to a shortened length configuration to expand ship and weapon application potential. Responding to interest expressed by allied navies, this design significantly increases the options for mounting arrangements in various areas of the ship and in reduced draft hulls.
Worldwide, the Mk 41 VLS is fast becoming the system of choice for the modern surface combatant. For more information, write FMC Corporation, Naval Systems Division, 4800 East River Road, Minneapolis, MN 55421-1498, (612)571-9201.
Our letterhead reads McDonnell Douglas Missile Systems Company.
In truth, it could also read McDonnell Douglas Weapon Control Systems. As well as Mission Planning Systems, Guidance Systems, Operational Flight Software, Systems Engineering and Integration, and Depot Support. All of which makes us the world leader in total cruise missile system design and integration.
See, we don’t just manufacture cruise missiles. We design and build cruise missile systems. It’s this commitment that proved successful in improving the quality of Tomahawk and the Advanced Cruise Missile. And our commitment proves itself in every Harpoon and SLAM that rolls off our line.
And that’s the difference between just making cruise missiles ... and Total Cruise Control.
