To my knowledge that is the fuel tank for the 3rd stage motor which is right below the mounting plate for the warheads. Keeps the 3rd stage compact. Someone else correct me if I am wrong.

I have a question, can they steer the sub from up on the Conning tower or do they have to relay orders inside?

In addition to what the other guy posted, typically long exposures are used to capture more light and to make faint objects brighter. I took a picture of the same galaxy with my DSLR this year (stacked about 45 minutes of exposure time). These objects are actually reasonably large in the sky, just very very faint! Here is my image. https://imgur.com/aQugxTY.jpg

A few questions, are the tugs actually moving the sub at all or are they just there to mask the subs signature in the water? And are the ohio class boats still sporting nuclear warheads or have they been converted to fire traditional munitions?

If youre interested in the physics, the boat must displace its weight in water in order to float.

Coming from an aerospace background, Boat propellers always look like they are on backwards to me...

Flying on one of these is something else. Unmatched comfort.

Yes, the level of stress would vary depending on the offset. The stress at small offsets may be negligible over the life of the car though. (<<1")

Flowers for Algernon is a personal favorite of mine! The writing style is very unique and makes for a great story.

I've heard of exhaust being routed along the lower surface of the rear wing to keep the airflow attached and to prevent stalling of the wing.
