Arsenal: Los Angeles–class Attack Submarines in the Hunter-Killer Role, the Cold War
from Arsenal: Weapons of War · host Dr. Jason Edwards
Arsenal: Los Angeles–class Attack Submarines in the Hunter-Killer Role, the Cold War follows the United States fast attack boats into the deep North Atlantic, the Norwegian Sea, and other Cold War patrol zones where quiet tracking runs, carrier escort missions, and Tomahawk strikes defined their combat record. Listeners hear how these submarines were designed to solve the problem of faster, quieter Soviet nuclear boats, how their crews lived and worked in cramped compartments, and how speed, endurance, and stealth made them the backbone of American undersea power. The episode also traces their evolution into multi-mission platforms and their lasting legacy. Arsenal is the Friday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and the podcast is developed by Trackpads.com.
