	USS Tunny (SS-282) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		USS Tunny (SS/SSG/APSS/LPSS-282), a Gato-class submarine, was the first submarine of the United States Navy to be named for the tunny, any of several oceanic fishes resembling the mackerel.
		Tunny was maneuvering at periscope depth to avoid depth charges dropped across her bow at a range of 300 yards when the first of several aerial bombs fell close aboard.
		Tunny trailed the convoy until she could obtain a good firing position and, at moonrise on 25 August, she submerged to 40 feet and began her approach.

	Regulus America's First Sea-borne Nuclear Deterrent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		USS Tunny (SSG-282) was the first submarine to carry the Regulus I missile.
		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.

	USS TUNNY SS 282
		TUNNY (SS 282) was designed for a length overall of 311 feet, extreme beam of 27 feet, standard displacement of 1,526 tons, submerged displacement of 2,410 tons, mean draft of 15 feet; a surface speed of 20.25 knots; submerged speed of 8.75 knots; and a complement of 6 officers and 54 men.
		TUNNY trailed the convoy until she could obtain a good firing position and, at moonrise on the 25th, she submerged to 40 feet and began her approach.
		TUNNY now obtained a setup on a destroyer moving at high speed across her stern, fired four Mk18 torpedoes, then dove quickly even as depth charges from a nearby trawler exploded on the port quarter.

	REGULUS GUIDED CRUISE MISSILE
		USS Princeton (CV 37) did not deploy with Regulus I but was the site of the first launch of a Regulus I missile from a warship.
		USS Hancock (CV 19) was heavily involved in the development of the Regulus Assault Mission concept (RAM) and deployed once to the Western Pacific with four Regulus I missiles in 1955.
		The RAM concept was deployed to the Western Pacific on six carrier deployments with missile launch conducted by a submarine or heavy cruiser and subsequent control to target to be conducted by pilots from supporting aircraft carriers.

		The Tunny and USS Barbero (SSG-317), both World War II fleet boats, were outfitted with hangars capable of holding two missiles.
		The Tunny participated in dozens of launches in the Pacific, including one in the Gulf of Alaska which demonstrated its ability to launch in arctic conditions.
		When the Barbero went into commission as an SSG in 1957, she was deployed in the Atlantic with the Sixth Fleet.

	Regulus I - United States Nuclear Forces
		The first submarine launch of Regulus occurred in July 1953 from the deck of the USS Tunny.
		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.
		When USS GRAYBACK (SSG 574) slipped it moors and headed into the Pacific Ocean in September 1959, it began an era of submarine history that would go unrecognized for almost 40 years.

		USS HALIBUT had the distinction to be the first submarine in the world designed and built from the keel up to launch guided missiles, and could carry five Regulus II missiles in a hangar integral with the hull.
		Five REGULUS submarines: USS GRAYBACK (SSG 574), USS TUNNY (SSG 282), USS BARBERO (SSG 317), USS GROWLER (SSG 577) and USS HALIBUT (SSGN 587) deployed on 41 deterrent patrols under the earth's oceans over the course of 5 years.
		In February 1965, HALIBUT entered Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard for a mayor overhaul, and on 15 August she was re-designated SS(N)587.

	A Short History of the USS Growler
		Since the BPQ-2 Trounce guidance equipment was not yet installed, USS Runner (SS 476), a Regulus guidance submarine, took control immediately after launch and guided the missile during the 30 minute flight.
		One guidance submarine, USS Medregal (SS 480) and the other East Coast Regulus I launch boat, USS Barbero (SSG 317), were also moving to Pearl Harbor as all Regulus I operations were being consolidated in the Pacific.
		While Tunny and Barbero were conversions of "fleet type" submarines, Grayback, Growler, and Halibut were new construction.

	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.
