Kaman. The name says command. An appropriate thought for the Navy’s new ASW attack helicopter. The Kaman SH-2G.
Already in production, the SH-2G builds upon the proven record of the SH-2F. The Navy’s most recent evolution of the unbeatable Kaman design.
But we’ve upgraded it with two powerhouse T700 engines. New avionics. And high-performance dynamics.
Now there’s even an on-board acoustic processor for totally autonomous missions against submarines. Plus superb sonobouy and sonar capabilities.
When the situation gets hot, the SH-2G lets you add critical components. Like dipping sonar.
An array of missiles and special weapons. And more advanced ESM.
All of which help counter increasingly sophisticated threats at sea. And on land.
That’s what it takes to del* performance. Now. And well in the 21st century. , t

Major Investment In Technology And Resources
Naval & Drive Turbine Systems brings the finest technical minds together with the finest resources. That's why we invested tens of millions of dollars to make our Fitchburg, Lynn and Bangor facilities leaders in computer-aided design, manufacture and test. Investment in computer systems that put the entire design "brainpower" of the Company at an engineer's fingertips. Investment in numerically-controlled machining centers, which now perform the vast majority of all Navy work. Investment in the world's finest hardened and ground gear facility, which machines massive gears to tolerances 30 times smaller than a human hair. Investment in a Large Gear Test Laboratory, which is unique in the world because full-size gears can be placed under load to investigate noise generation and transmission characteristics. Investment in an Aerodynamic Flow Facility, which tests small models of turbine casings, or actual turbine components, to make them lighter, stronger, quieter, more efficient and more reliable. Investment in test facilities which subject entire propulsion systems, ships service turbine generator systems and gears to full-load conditions on foundations that provide total isolation from the external environment. Computerized on-line automated data acquisition and data recording are made throughout the entire test cycle on a real-time basis.
Leadership—A Proud Tradition Continues
GE is the leading supplier of advanced propulsion and ships service turbine generator systems to the Navy fleet from the largest aircraft carriers to the smallest auxiliary ships. Carrying on this Proud Tradition is the responsibility of Naval & Drive Turbine Systems. We challenge our engineers to build-on over 75 years of propulsion experience, and over a century of power generation experience. We combine their talent with the total resources of the Company. We are committed to advance the U.S. Navy mission into the 21st Century. General Electric Company, 166 Boulder Drive, Fitchburg, MA 01420.

Reliable, efficient, reusable software that can be operated on computers in the Army, Air Force and Navy is essential if America is to afford the defense it needs to remain a viable, formidable deterrent.
But, until recently, each of the armed services used a different computer language, creating massive software inventories and making system maintenance complex, expensive and sometimes impossible.
This is why the Ada computer programming language (named for Augusta Ada Byron, Countess of

THE NAVY HAS BEEN DROPPING OUR SONOBUOYS FOR OVER 35 YEARS.
Today, Magnavox sonobuoys give the U.S. Navy more than twice the capability — at half the 1953 cost. Advances gained through technology allow us to cut cost, yet maintain the highest quality in detection capability. Magnavox sonobuoys find the underwater threat.
Experience counts. During the last three decades, Magnavox has competitively bid and manufactured every major production sonobuoy the Navy has deployed. We've built four million to date — each is designed to feature flexibility and unsurpassed performance. The only company specializing in both "wet end" and 'dry end" ASW technology, Magnavox understands the synergy between the data-gathering sonobuoy and its companion airborne acoustic signal processor. After all, we produce nearly half the "wet end" devices and 75 percent of the "dry end" signal processing equipment used in our nation's P-3 aircraft.
When it comes to ASW technology, take Magnavox... or
take a guess.

seldom ideal
For more than 25 years, Control Data has been a leading supplier of reliable militarized information management systems and products you can rely on under all conditions. Ideal, or otherwise.
No matter what the environment, platform, or mission, Control Data’s Government Systems Group has a unique ability for combining advanced technologies into systems for a wide range of defense-related applications. We have proved our ability to design and integrate information systems with an architecture flexible enough to meet the challenges of ever-changing environments.
Land-based systems. Control Data has designed and integrated the world’s first digital fire control system for the Abrams main battle tank. Other land-based achievements include: CYBER computers and software used for the massive signal processing tasks in NORAD’s Pave Paws Early Warning phased array radar network.
Airborne capabilities. Our Reconnaissance Management System (RMS) lets flight personnel study realtime information gathered from external sensors, then relay pertinent mission information to command centers. We’ve also designed the Navy’s standard AN/AYK-14 airborne computer to be reconfigurable for a wider range of performance and memory capabilities.
Information at sea. Control Data’s experience in integrating sophisticated data systems into even more sophisticated shipboard systems resulted in our being chosen to develop directed-fire systems such as the Phalanx Close-in Weapons System and the AEGIS Shipboard Air Defense. Our ASW capabilities include a fully-integrated system capable of handling sonobuoys or dipping sonar systems, or a mix of both—aboard ship or on airborne platforms.
The future. We intend to remain in the vanguard of advanced information management systems development. Regardless of the mission, environment or platform, experience is what makes Control Data’s Government Systems Group one of the most reliable suppliers for systems, systems integration, hardware and software.

SUDDENLY IT'S QUIET.
fllllET Quite recently the Soviet IWW ^fUIE !• Union acquired and developed technology that has enabled it to build submarines which can cruise quieter and faster than ever before. This, in conjunction with new, very-long-range missiles which allow Soviet subs to be on station virtually anywhere on the planet, has radically changed theantisubmarine defense picture.
What is needed to tackle these unprecedented circumstances is an aircraft which has longer range, greater tenacity, and increased payload to carry the sensors and weapons needed to challenge the new silent subs. Such a plat

During his tenure, Admiral Gorshkov received recognition worldwide— appearing on the covers of Proceedings (Jan. 74) and Time (23 Feb. 68).
his good relationship with Malinovskiy was a major factor in his later appointments.
Subsequently, in December 1944, while a vice admiral commanding the Danube flotilla, Gorshkov and Marshal of the Soviet Union F. I. Tolbukhin quarreled over the alleged failure of ground forces to support a landing by the flotilla. Gorshkov lost this argument and was immediately replaced as head of the flotilla.
Still, Gorshkov survived the war with a credible record. In the postwar period his promotions continued, and in 1948 he became chief of staff of the Black Sea Fleet, and in 1951 the fleet commander-in-chief (CinC), being promoted to full admiral in 1954.
By 1955—two years after Stalin’s death—Khrushchev made the decision to fire Admiral N. S. Kuznetsov, who had commanded the Soviet Navy from 1939 to 1947, and again from 1951 to the end of 1955. Kuznetsov was a strong proponent of Stalin’s plans for a large, conventional battle fleet.
Gorshkov became first deputy CinC of the navy in June 1955, and CinC and a deputy minister of defense in January 1956, at age 46.
Reportedly, Khrushchev directed Gorshkov to discard the existing battleships and cruisers, and to concentrate on small warships and submarines. But
Gorshkov was able to retain most of the cruisers and other conventional warships while at the same time leading his fleet into the nuclear-missile era. Obviously, the development of nuclear propulsion and missiles already was under way when Gorshkov came to Moscow. During his tenure, the Soviet Navy became an oceangoing force, a key participant in the international thrusts of First Secretary Brezhnev and his successors, and a force with combat potential and technological progress that could challenge the U. S. Navy.
In 1962, he was promoted to Admiral of the Fleet and, in 1967, to the ultimate naval rank of Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union.
Gorshkov stepped down from the CinC position in December 1985. It was an auspicious time. That month the Soviets launched a nuclear-propelled aircraft carrier (subsequently named the Leonid Brezhnev) and laid the keel for a second carrier. He had served in the post for 29 years and 11 months.
While rumors began immediately over the reasons for his departure, it was obvious that Gorshkov was simply tired and his state of health was questionable. A biography published in 1986 demonstrated that he was held in high repute upon retirement. Gorshkov died on 13 May 1988, at age 78.
Admiral Gorshkov often is compared to Captain Alfred Thayer Mahan, the U. S. Navy theoretician, and Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, longtime head of the U. S. nuclear propulsion program. Neither analogy is valid.
Mahan was a professor at the Naval War College when he wrote his major books and articles, attempting to codify the role of sea power. His writings influenced President Theodore Roosevelt and others. Gorshkov was a naval CinC when he put his name to two books and innumerable articles on the role of sea power in the development of czarist Russia and the Soviet Union. But more likely he was explaining the rationale for decisions already taken. He undoubtedly influenced those decisions in his role of naval CinC, not as a writer.
Rickover led or pushed (but never dragged) the U. S. Navy into nuclear propulsion as a program manager. Gorshkov guided the Soviet Navy into nuclear propulsion as well as guided and ballistic missiles, satellites, lasers, aircraft carriers, and many less technological areas.
More significant, Gorshkov managed the building of a fleet to challenge the U. S. Navy. Norman Polmar
THE DEMAND
The challenge of the long range and support requirement in naval strategy; the tactical commitments of battlefield support; the safety, comfort, capacity, range and speed needs of civil transport. These are just some of the demands which must be met by rotary wing aircraft. Demands which could be regarded by some as conflicting.
Jointly Agusta and Westland formed E.H. Industries Limited to marry these demands into one helicopter programme. A programme with its own international management company.
ADVANCED IMAGE ART
A helicopter which is capable of meeting the growing demand for safety, capacity, performance, range, speed, reliability, and flexibility, in a truly cost effective manner. The demand has grown from the needs of both the Civil and the Military for maritime and land-based operations to provide a response which, in concept and execution, will satisfy all and compromise none.

Here’s the bottom line for the Boeing 757 as the Navy’s Long Range Air ASW Capability Aircraft. It gets there faster, carrying a greater payload, and stays on station longer, so fewer airplanes cover more ocean. Plus, the 757 has room to grow It’s the wise choice today And tomorrow.

.................................... , ^ ■
Before we tell you all the things our PDA-555 has, it's important to look at what it doesn't have. Don’t expect a lot of size; the system is 50% smaller than most other flat-panel displays. It’s 40% lighter.
What the PDA-555 tactical display does have is full-function intelligence. Light weight. Modular construction that enhances field-maintainability. A 512x512 matrix for bright, flicker-free display even under adverse conditions. An alphanumeric capacity of 85 characters/51 lines (5x7), 64 characters/32 lines (7x9). A compact, thin profile for maximum system design flexibility.
What’s more, the PDA-555 is NDI.

Only with VLA can it meet its ASW mission.
Vertical Launch ASROC (VLA) is the right ASW weapon system at the right time.
With it, the Mobile Bay, and other CG-47,DDG-963, and DDG-51 ships with vertical launchers, get an ASW capability that's absolutely critical to the Fleet. And impossible to achieve with any other system for at least the next five years.
Only with VLA can these ships mount an urgent attack against medium range threats under all weather conditions. Only with VLA can they meet their total mission of battle group protection.
The VLA system is developed.
It's proved itself in six successive flight tests.
Loral is ready to build and deliver weapons now.
VLA: One of the best investments the U.S. Navy will ever make.

Naval Review 1988
An Easy Way to Keep Abreast of Events Pertinent to the U. S. Sea Services
The special May Naval Review issue of Proceedings is now available in a hardcover edition. This 1988 review is unparalleled in its coverage of the issues, facts, people, and events associated with the U. S. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine. Presented in a new three-part format, it includes more authors and features than ever before.
The first part covers such major issues as the war in the Persian Gulf, the Iraqi aircraft attack on the U. S. frigate Stark, and restoring the image of the Marine Corps, with top authorities sharing their opinions on these subjects. The second part presents annual summaries of the U. S. sea services along with the year's highlights of developments in the Soviet Navy and other navies, in naval aircraft and weapons, and in congressional naval issues. Also included are special reports on the drug war and on Merchant Marine strategy.
The final part, a reference section that readers constantly refer to throughout the year, includes a pictorial list of flag and general officers of the sea services, various lists of important telephone numbers and upcoming conferences and seminars, and information on service benefits, ships' status changes, pay tables, and more.

The Big E
By Commander Edward P. Stafford, U. 5. NavyfRet.)
Introduction by Paul Stillwell
A Colorful, First-Rate Piece of World War II History
One of the most literate nonfiction ship stories to be found anywhere, this book, first published more than twenty-five years ago, has deservedly become a classic. It's a lasting memorial to the USS Enterprise, a carrier that contributed more than any other single warship to the naval victory in the Pacific. Commissioned in 1938, it participated in nearly every major engagement in the war against Japan, earning a total of twenty battle stars. The Halsey-Doolittle Raid; the Battles of Midway, Santa Cruz, Guadalcanal, the Philippine Sea, and Leyte Gulf; and the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa are all faithfully depicted in exciting detail by the author who interviewed many former crew members.
Edward Stafford, a naval aviator himself, has captured the "feel" of the Enterprise air groups as they faced the enemy in dramatic aerial encounters. The inside of a Dauntless cockpit when a pilot is boring in on his target and the mighty effort required to unstick the ship's huge rudder damaged by a bomb are just two of the many verbal pictures painted by Stafford. Few warships have ever been the subject of so extensive a biography. Paul Stillwell, the author of The Battleship New Jersey and director of the oral history program at the Naval Institute, provides the introduction to this exciting classic.
