The Voice of All Navymen
15 June, 1959
Vol. 54 No. 2
OUR COVER: This is not the world's most controversial submarine. For that story, see page 23. This is the Growler (SSG-577) from which the Regulus I missile was fired successfully just 3,000 yards off the Roosevelt Roads Naval Station. For a complete rundown of the important role this base is playing in missile readiness, see page 21.
