| 説明 | Artist's conception of a submerged ballistic missile launch from USS George Washington (SSBN 598).USS George Washington was the Navy’s first fleet ballistic missile submarine. Named for first American President George Washington, the submarine was launched June 9, 1959, and commissioned December 30, 1959. She was initially laid down as attack submarine USS Scorpion but converted to a fleet ballistic missile submarine during construction with the insertion missile section. George Washington performed the first submerged launch of a ballistic missile (a Polaris A1) on July 20, 1960. She conducted 55 strategic deterrent patrols over 25 years and was decommissioned in 1985.The associated caption reads:"USN 1036206 / MARCH 1958 / ARTIST'S CONCEPTION OF THE NAVY'S NEW CLASS OF GUIDED MISSILE SUBMARINE, THE SSB FBM, SCHEDULE[D] FOR CONSTRUCTION AS PART OF THE NAVY'S 1959 SHIPBUILDING PROGRAM. DESIGNED TO CARRY THE FLEET BALLISTIC MISSILE, THIS NUCLEAR POWERED SUBMARINE WILL HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF REMAINING ON STATION UNDETECTED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. THE FLEET BALLISTIC MISSILES CARRIED BY THESE SUBMARINES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AS A STRONG DETERRENT AGAINST INITIATION OF ATOMIC WARFARE BY ANY HOSTILE POWER. THE SONAR, AND TORPEDO TUBES WILL ALSO MAKE IT EFFECTIVE AGAINST ENEMY SUBMARINES OR SURFACE SHIPS. / OFFICIAL U.S. NAVY PHOTO / RELEASED"In the collection of the U.S. Naval Undersea Museum, Keyport, WA. www.navalunderseamuseum.org/ |
