Navy's Regulus and USAF's Matador not only looked alike; their performance, schedule, and costs were about the same, and they used the same engine.
This meant that in comparison to the Regulus, the Matador would require more men and machinery and that the submarine had to remain on the surface longer, thereby increasing its vulnerability to enemy action.

When the Regulus crews returned to Hawaii after the crisis, they knew their days on deterrent patrol were numbered.

 REGULUS II CRUISE MISSILE
However, the Regulus II cruise missile project was cancelled on December 18, 1958, as the United States Navy decided to develop the submarine-launched Polaris ballistic missile, instead, and the Regulus I cruise missile remained in service until 1964, on the USS Halibut, with 514 of them being built.
The 11-ton Regulus II cruise missile, which was powered by a General Electric J79 jet engine, had a wingspan of 20 feet and 1 inch (6.12 meters), a length of 57 feet and 6 inches (17.5 meters), a range of 1,380 miles (2,220 km), and 54 of them were built.

 Regulus 2
The new missile was named Regulus II (although it was a completely new missile, and not a development of Regulus) and received the designation SSM-N-9.
Regulus II was a Mach 2 cruise missile design, which could also attain a significantly higher altitude and range than the SSM-N-8 Regulus I.
Despite these advantages, the Regulus II would have been hopelessly obsolete with the advent of the UGM-27 Polaris SLBM (Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile), and therefore the tactical SSM-N-9 Regulus II cruise missile was cancelled in late 1958.
