(The "G" stands for guided missle) This missile system later proved to be unsatisfactory due to improvements in ballistic missile technology.
The two submarines were cut in two and cylindrical hangers installed above the bows to carry the missiles.  Automatic loading and firing gear enabled the submarines to surface, extract the Regulus missile from its hanger straight onto an inclinded launching ramp, thus allowing the submarine to fire the missile and submerge immediately.
The Polaris A-1 first fired by the GEORGE WASHINGTON had an impressive range of 1,200 nautical miles.  However, this was immediately increased by the incorporation of the new improved Polaris A-2 by 300 nautical miles to 1,500 miles.

 The Stupid Shall Be Punished: February 2005
I never served on an SSBN, although I did got to sea on one once, for the Alpha Sea Trials of USS Louisiana (SSBN 743), the last of the Ohio-class boats.
The advantage of serving on boomers seemed to be that you had a long-range schedule that they stuck to pretty closely; if someone called to see if you could attend a family reunion six months from now, you knew if you'd be at sea or not.
Although I've heard that "refit" periods between patrols for SSBNs can be pretty intense, boomers have an organization called Trident Refit Facility that does most of your major maintenance for you.

Studies were made of all the suitable places to base a refit facility and it was decided in July 1960 that the Holy Loch should be the site.
The number of submarines being supported by SUBRON 14 varied over the years and the measure of that is that on 2 April 1987 the 2500th Ballistic Missile Deterrent Patrol was completed by USS Mariano G. Vallejo (SSBN-658).
Attached to SUBRON 14 during its time in the loch were three Navy tugs: USS Natick (YTB-760), USS Saugus (YTB-780), and USS Piqua (YTB-793), which were kept extremely busy by the demanding schedules of the submarines that SUBRON 14 served.
