Rear Adm. J.C. Olson, then the commander of Coast Guard District 17, which includes Alaska, said in a 2006 letter to the Missile Defense Agency that the SBX was not capable of "maintaining station" under such conditions, which posed a safety threat to the platform, crew and environment.

But Steve Stangl, a Boeing employee and site manager on the SBX, said there have been no weather-related operations problems.

In January 2007, on the SBX's first trip up to Adak, the vessel ran into hurricane-force, 100 mph winds and 50-foot seas about 250 miles south of the Aleutian chain.

"I was impressed," Stangl said. "Even in the hurricane, I'm sitting in my office doing regular work, and I couldn't tell (there was a storm outside). She's built for stability."

The 120-foot tall radome is inflatable and made of materials similar to Teflon and Kevlar, officials said. Inside, it's tan, and penetrating sunlight casts a gold glow over the 85-foot octagonal radar face.

disagree  One-L Michele: A "ballistic missile", technically, could be a pistol round, and a kevlar vest can protect you from it. But in common language, a "ballistic missile" is a big rocket fired from one continent to another. And usually nuclear tipped. Kevlar won't save you.

disagree  Thomas Roberts: The merits of kevlar against a ballistic missile strike are as yet unproven
