		(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.
