New Polaris Sub
Described as a
Deterrent Against War
GROTON, Conn. Iff) — The nu
clear submarine Thomas Edison,
newest of the Navy’s Polaris
firing ships, was described yes
terday as a deterrent against war,
designed “to keep an enemy’s
finger off the trigger.”
James H_. Wakelin Jr., assist
ant Secretary of the Navy, said at
the Eidson’s launching that new
submarine’s purpose is to help
prevent accidental war.
The 16 missiles aboard the Edi
son, he said, are “carried by a
concealed, virtually invulnerable
submarine.”
Wakelin said a Polaris launch
ing “can be delayed long enough
for a complete appraisal of the
situation, for carefully consider
ed decisions, and for massive re
prisal when and if an enemy ever
attacks us.”
Mrs. John Eyre Sloan of West
Orange, N. J., daughter of the
famed inventor for whom the sub
marine is named, was the Edi
son’s sponsor.
