	All Wood Wings: Halibut Class: SSGN-587, Nuclear-powered Experimental Submarine - quality ship models crafted from wood
		While USS Halibut was the first nuclear-powered submarine designed and built to launch guided missiles, she was neither the first nuclear-powered submarine nor the first submarine to launch a guided missile.
		SSGN-587 USS Halibut was indeed the first submarine that combined both the "N" for "nuclear propulsion" and the "G" for "guided missile" in the boat's designation - and was designed and built from the keel up for the purpose of operating on nuclear power while having missile launch capability.
		The USS Halibut - succeeded by the George Washington Class SSBNs - was converted to an Attack Submarine at Pearl Harbor in 1965 and re-designated SSN-587.

	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.
		The only submarine-based firing of the Regulus II cruise missile, from the USS Grayback, occurred in September 1958 and some of these were still in use by the USN after 1958, as reuseable supersonic target drones, equiped with landing gear.
