Regulus: The First Nuclear Missile SubmarineBefore Trident . . .Before Polaris . . .They Were The Shield For The United States. In 1946, the US Navy began tests with German V-1 "buzz bombs". The goal? To develop a submarine-launched, nuclear guided missile. The tests would lead to the development of the Regulus, an air breathing cruise missile that flew like a jet aircraft. Tested in secrecy at Edwards Air Force Base, the Regulus would be deployed aboard five "SSGs" - guided missile submarines! They would undertake the first missile deterrent patrols in the history of the Navy. Patrolling the stormy waters of the North Pacific, the Regulus crews endured long deployments - often with the Soviet Navy in depth charge range! This is the story of the Regulus and the men who made the guided missile submarine a reality. Features recently declassified footage, much of it seen here for the first time. Narrated by Roy Scheider. USA, 2002, B&W/Color, 50 minutes.
