The First Nuclear Missile Launched From Submarines - And How It Lead To Polaris
How the US Navy went from a copy of the German V-1 missile to the Polaris missile!
In the 1940's the US quickly started copying the German V-1 missile and after the war developed a submarine able to launch it, but advancing technology delivered the more capable Regulus missile. Submarines were built with special hangars to support this new weapon, and development began on the supersonic Regulus II. But, in a few years Regulus was rendered obsolete as rockets got bigger and nuclear warheads got smaller - the Polaris would become the standard design for submarine launched missiles.
The Regulus would be converted into a target drone for the remainder of its operational life.
