Navy Trident ii program praised by House panel Washington a the Navy s trip Chi i program to build a newer More deadly submarine launched missile is sound stable and disciplined according to a review released sunday by die House armed service committee. In Tare Praise for a . Nuclear weapons program the Den uralic Tont roiled panel said the trip Chi ii scheduled to enter service in about in months appears to be on time and under budget. The other programs we be looked at had a variety of problems so this is kind of a Maii Biles dog Story but in is important to give credit when it is due said rep. Let Aspin d-wis., chairman of the panel the committee s repo was the latest in a series _ of studies on .

Par instance Arpin said the office in managing weapons building programs longer and has More wide ranging authority than other Pentagon offices. The Trident if will Cost at least 136 billion but the eventual Cost is unclear because the Navy has t finally decided How Many of the Trident missile firing suf twill build. Congress has already authorized 15 of the boats which Cadi carry a dozen missiles that can deliver unto eight warheads apiece. The Trident ii missile is now being flight tested at Cape canaveral Fla.
