	USS Grayback (SSG-574) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		USS Grayback (SS/SSG/APSS/LPSS-574), the lead ship of her class of submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the grayback, a small herring of great commercial importance in the Great Lakes.
		Grayback was initially designated as an attack submarine, but was converted to a Regulus guided missile submarine (SSG-574) in 1958.
		Grayback was decommissioned for the second time on 15 January 1984 at Subic Bay Naval Station in the Republic of the Philippines.

	List of submarine classes of the United States Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Submarines of the United States Navy are built in classes, using a single design for a number of boats.
		Occasionally, a class will consist of a single ship as a prototype, or for experimental use; an example is USS Albacore (AGSS-569), which used an unprecedented hull design.
		This was a two ship class intended to prototype small submarines for wartime use due to the (false) belief that larger submarines could not be mass produced.

		By mid-1958, USS Grayback (SSG-574) and USS Growler (SSG-577) had been commissioned as the first purpose-built Regulus submarines, each carrying two in a large bow hangar.
		This became the TRIDENT, which required a new and larger class of ballistic missile submarines, beginning with USS Ohio (SSBN-726) shown here, commissioned in November 1981.
		Ultimately, the class would number 18 ships, the last of which entered service in June 1997.

	Regulus America's First Sea-borne Nuclear Deterrent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In late 1958, with four SSGs and four Regulus cruisers in commission, the Navy responded by moving all of the submarines and three of the cruisers to the Pacific to maintain regular deterrent patrols threatening the Soviet Far East.
		In particular, Submarine Squadron ONE was formed of the four SSGs at Pearl Harbor and adopted a readiness posture that put at least four missiles on station in the Western Pacific at all times, to complement existing carrier-based aircraft armed with nuclear weapons.
		Accordingly, the Navy’s Special Projects Office was established in November 1955 and, under RADM William F. Raborn, moved rapidly to develop the Polaris SLBM and a class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines to carry it.

		Tunny and her sister boat USS Barbero (SSG-317) were the United States's first nuclear deterrent patrol submarines.
		They were joined in 1958 by two purpose-built Regulus submarines, USS Grayback (SSG-574)[?], USS Growler (SSG-577)[?], and, later, by the nuclear-powered USS Halibut (SSGN-587).
		These five submarines made 40 Regulus strategic deterrent patrols between October 1959 and July 1964, when they were relieved by the George Washington-class submarines carrying the Polaris missile system.

		However, erection of the launching ramp and preparation of the missile kept the submarine on the surface for five minutes; therefore, a hand-off control system was developed, whereby another submarine, 80 miles downrange, could take over for the last 55 miles of missile flight.
		The U. Navy began operation of a fast-submarine test bed, the 203-foot "Albacore." The hull form was similar to that of an airship; the boat went through five experimental configurations; in the first, she demonstrated underwater speeds of 26 knots.
		In preparation for development of the next submarine class ("Virginia"), the U. Navy elected to create a one-fourth scale, unmanned, submarine, to test new and emerging technologies before they are committed to full-scale ships.

	A Short History of the USS Growler
		Built at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery, Maine, Growler had a similar outward appearance to Grayback but was quite different in her internal layout; aft of the missile guidance center the layout was nearly identical to the smaller USS Darter (SS-576).
		While Grayback and Growler had nearly identical exteriors, Grayback had a slightly different shape to her missile hangars that lessened this unwanted Bernoulli effect.
		Growler and Grayback sailed for Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, California together and were decommissioned in May 1964.
