Bond in 'Goldeneye' is pretty much a set character. To be honest, he's another version of Connery, and Connery was terrific. How many submarines can you blow up? How many control rooms are evaporating?

There were Japanese submarines out there, and we got credit for two of them and credited for knocking down four planes on our way out.

For me, a good thriller must teach me something about the real world.

When you're on a submarine you're usually underwater for months at a time, and you don't get to Skype or make phone calls. When you get messages, they're maybe two sentences. They're very short.

The challenges that I see at the high end are anti-submarine warfare. There are about 140 diesel submarines that operate in the Pacific. We, as a Navy, are good at anti-submarine warfare. We can always get better, and that's what we're doing because we have to be able to dominate that growing submarine capability.

I've been to the Titanic in a yellow submarine and the North Pole in a Russian nuclear ice breaker.

This merger would give General Dynamics a permanent monopoly in nuclear submarines and would substantially lessen competition in surface combatants.

Scaling back the U.S. fleet of 14 nuclear-armed submarines to eight would maintain a robust deterrent at sea while generating billions in savings and easing pressure on the Navy's shipbuilding budget.

If it has four legs and is not a chair, has wings and is not an aeroplane, or swims and is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it.
