COVER STORY: Missile crisis - The hard truths about America's military arsenal The war with Iran was launched more than six months ago, and shows no signs of ending. In the early days of the conflict, the United States fired off thousands of long-range, precision-guided missiles. Now, with its arsenal depleted, the Pentagon is faced with the stark prospect of not having enough high-tech weapons to sustain a conflict against a true military power like China, and has ordered the defense industry onto a "wartime footing" to replenish its stockpiles. That will cost billions of dollars and require years of manufacturing. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin visited some of the plants now ramping up production to rebuild America's military arsenal.
ALMANAC: September 13 "Sunday Morning" looks back at historical events on this date.
WORLD: Shipwrecks and the tantalizing allure of the sea Shipwrecks have long fascinated oceanographer Robert Ballard, who became renowned for locating the wreck of the RMS Titanic in 1985. He talks with correspondent Lee Cowan about how that discovery 12,000 feet beneath the Atlantic changed him, and about the efforts of his research vessel Nautilus to map the ocean floor. Cowan also talks with Sophie Elmhirst, author of the bestseller "A Marriage at Sea: A True Story of Love, Obsession, and Shipwreck," about human beings at their most vulnerable.
SPORTS: The girls of summer Women's pro baseball has been largely inactive in this country since the pioneering All-American Girls Professional Baseball League folded 72 years ago. Now, with the new Women's Pro Baseball League (which debuted last month), women are again taking to the diamond in a league of their own. Correspondent Faith Salie talks with #1 draft pick Kelsie Whitmore; catcher Maggie Foxx; commissioner Justine Siegal; and CEO Keith Stein about what the new league means for women and sports.

FASHION: Diane von Furstenberg on life, love, and a wrap dress Diane von Furstenberg has been one of the most important names in fashion for nearly 50 years, whose brand has long empowered women, with practical, feminine clothing (most famously embodied by her '70s wrap dress). In Venice, correspondent Alina Cho visits with von Furstenberg, who talks about her life's journey, which she calls a miracle thanks to a mother who survived the Holocaust.
HEADLINES: Testing the ethical boundaries of surrogacy In the United States, commercial surrogacy — paying a woman to have fertilized eggs implanted in her uterus so she can carry a pregnancy to term — is widely assumed to be closely regulated. But a yearlong CBS News investigation found that few, if any, meaningful protections exist for surrogates.
