h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

That's really all I wanted to say

I must have missed this in PR completely because, oddly enough, this was a subject I actually thought about writing an entry on a few months ago (admittedly as a very vague intent and just the British subs to boot). So, when I saw this on the front page, I instantly thought "oh no!"

As soon as I saw who it was by, I was glad I hadn't taken up the idea of making a hash of it Even more so once I'd finished reading it

Thanks Trin. The entry sort of presupposes the existence of another entry on 'generic' nuclear subs, to explain all the non-missile-related stuff. Perhaps you would be interested in writing that?

Oo. The angle was more 'Britain's nuclear deterrent' than 'delivery system' when I was thinking about it - but the opportunity to type 'Admiral Hyman Rickover' a lot is quite tempting.

(Do you think there's some sort of name test you have to pass before you can become a USN admiral?)

I'll think about it: thanks for the suggestion
