[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: codef1



Check this out:


"Despite these challenges, "the U.S. has been reconfiguring the submarine
USS Jimmy Carter for [fiber-optic tapping]," says Richelson. The Jimmy
Carter, one of a new Seawolf class, is being extensively modified for a
range of covert missions by the introduction of a new hull section, which
will facilitate the use of remotely operated vehicles, surveillance
equipment, and the transport of Navy Seals, the U.S. Navy's special
operations warfare specialists. The sub is also being fitted with an
advanced communications mast, which will allow it both to eavesdrop on radio
signals and transmit information back to base. The Jimmy Carter should be
fully operational by mid-2005 [see illustration]."
