  This paper focuses on the scaling of the S-matrix for elastic nucleon-nucleon
scattering at large Nc. It is argued that the logarithm of a typical S-matrix
element is proportional to Nc in the regime where the large Nc limit is taken
with momentum of the incident nucleons proportional Nc. The suggested scaling
was previously derived within the framework of potential scattering models for
purely elastic scattering in which the parameters scale the same way as in
large Nc QCD. A variety of heuristic arguments strongly suggest that the same
scaling holds in the realistic case where both elastic and inelastic scattering
are possible.
