(OP)
Can anyone provide a starting point for MIL SPECs related to Electronics used on a US Nuclear Submarine. Temperature, shake rattle and roll, EMI, Electrical Suceptabilty, etc.

IRstuff,
Thanks, I work in commercial-industry and military-aerospace is a foreign land to me. But one application I'm consulting on may have a Military customer.

RE: US Submarines MIL SPECS
You are absolutely correct. The product was in the process of being designed for commercial applications when the Sub application came along [ a currently used critical product is going obsolete]. The company I'm consulting to is going balls out with the design and my sense is that they don't fully appreciate Military Requirements [young engineers]. I've told them if they include these requirements from the start it will save them time and effort later on but I wanted to hammer it home by providing MIL SPECS. But I haven't worked on a Military Design since the nineteen sixties.

Otherwise, a submarine environment is relatively benign, i.e., controlled temperatures, no sand/dust, no solar, no rain, etc.
Best of luck...

If it's mission-critical, then it would normally need to be modified, or cocooned, to survived any required environment. A typical approach is to install the item on wire rope isolators with lots of sway space, which might get you past the 901 shock requirement. Your Navy customer may be able to help you with that.

Since this is an electronics unit, the original unit was probably "Rafted" for acoustic noise transmission and shake, rattle and roll victomization.
