Contents 1 edit 2 Relevance to Operation Argus / Starfish Prime tests

[edit] edit

Removed "Another peculiarity is that the crew has naval type ranks and uniforms, but the submarine is privately owned (a ridiculous expenditure for any corporation or non-profit agency)." as privately owned ships do have "naval type ranks and uniforms" and "ridiculous expenditure" is unwarranted.

[edit] Relevance to Operation Argus / Starfish Prime tests

I was born in 1960 so I grew up in a deluge of information that I had to make sense of. One I particularly remember is (a) seeing this movie and (b) hearing about tests (look up "Operation Argus" and "Starfish Prime" here on WikiPedia) where they really *did* detonate an H-bomb in the upper atmosphere. So I was stuck trying to make sense of whether the movie really happened, and if these tests were really supposed to have saved the word. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.68.159.105 (talk) 03:27, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
