| Video Discription | This fascinating film shows the story in graphic detail the development, construction, testing and deployment of both these revolutionary new subs and their missiles. USS George Washington (SSBN-598) –the lead ship of US Navy's first class of Fleet Ballistic Missile submarines - was the first operational nuclear-powered strategic multi-missile under water launch capable submarine in the World. With 16 Polaris A-1 missiles which had a range of 1,000 miles it entered service in December 1959 and conducted the first active patrol November 1960-January 1961. New technologies like nuclear propulsion, rockets, subsurface firing, inertial guidance systems, advanced fire control and communications & computer systems had to be taught to a generation of submariners in a remarkably short time. You'll see the the USS Compass Island used tor navigation training; “Operation Sky Catch” using a net to catch test launched Polaris missiles; the USS Observation Island used to train crews in live missile launches; intensive training at the Nuclear Power School in New London CON; Polaris rocket motor testing; the George Washington commissioning ceremony, as well as the construction, launch and shake down cruise of the USS Patrick Henry (SSBN-599), with extensive interior shots of the sub's advanced systems and crew members going about their daily duties all across the boat Get this video & 5 more on our "Cold War, Hot War: Boomers, Carriers, ASW, Lasers & more:The Post World War 2 US Navy on High Alert" DVD http://bit.ly/1RLsnyC Zeno Zeno's Warbird Videos http://www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com Zeno's Flight Shop DVD Store – Worlds Largest Collection of WW2 Videos http://www.zenosflightshop.com |
