A slide rule appears at about 14 minutes into "Weapons Races: The Race for
the Nuclear Submarine." This program was on the Military Channel.

There is a discussion on ballistic missile development on submarines. Early
Soviet surface test firings are being shown, but we are being set up for a
look at the development of the Polaris system coupled with the George
Washington class of missile boats.

Look for a section where a model of a nose cone is being turned on a lathe.
The next cut will reveal several nose cone models. The slide rule is in the
hands of one designer on the right. It looks like a K&E.
