THE USS HALIBUT SSGN/SSN 587 AND THE NEW SSGN's GANGWAY PAGE

Before there was a submarine launched ballistic missile- carried on deterrent patrols by SSBN Submarines- there was a submarine launched Regulus I guided missile. Only one special nuclear powered submarine carried the Regulus I on deterrent missile patrols.

After Regulus I this special nuclear powered submarine was refitted twice for a second and third career to perform special underwater operations of great value to the United states of America- at which she excelled.

This first SSGN submarine was the nuclear powered USS Halibut, the only one of her kind ever built. This boat- with her single 110 man crew- set standards of excellence and endurance, to which future SSGN's may only aspire.

To them- Godspeed and Good Hunting
