"FROM 1959 THROUGH 1964 REGULUS WAS THE SUBMARINE LAUNCHED RETALIATORY MISSILE IN THE PACIFIC. THE REGULUS MISSILE DETERRENT STRIKE FORCE OPERATED FROM SUBMARINE BASE, PEARL HARBOR, UNDER THE OPERATIONAL CONTROL OF COMMANDER SUBMARINE FORCE, PACIFIC FLEET, AND WAS SUPPORTED BY GUIDED MISSILE UNIT TEN. LESS THAN 800 MEN AND THEIR FIGHT READY SUBMARINES MAINTAINED THEIR WARHEADS WITHIN MINUTES OF ASSIGNED TARGETS UNDER THE MOST ARDUOUS CONDITIONS. THEY UNDERTOOK A MOST DIFFICULT AND CHALLENGING TASK AND SAW IT TO A SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION. THIS MISSILE IS DEDICATED TO THOSE SUBMARINERS AND THEIR BOATS WHO, FOR FIVE YEARS, CARRIED THE SHIELD."
