Cruising Back Towards Pearl Harbor
Rather than this, the newer vessel was the very first to fire a Regulus II sea to surface ballistic missile from a submarine, which was launched from an aircraft carrier. Despite this, due to the termination of the weapons program not long after the Grayback’s debut, she was outfitted with four Regulus I missiles, which allowed her to hit targets on land. Additionally, the submarine was stationed in the Hawaiian port of Pearl Harbor during the month of February 1959.

When she was launched, this Grayback was 273 feet in length – though she was later enlarged to 317 feet – and a little more than 27 feet across her beam, despite the fact that she had been stretched. Her other weapons were eight conventional torpedo tubes, as well as the capability of firing Regulus I missiles, which were capable of delivering nuclear bombs. A total of two of them were placed in the stern of the vessel, with the remaining six being placed at the bow of the vessel.
