Sound: "Rig for dive, and take her down" by the U.S. Navy Band
It has been a long time since we have seen her underway. This video may be of the first Strategic Missile launched from an underway nuclear powered submarine. If this launch is not the very first, then surely it is one of the first- come on "plank owners", how many red birds were launched before the sail TV camera was removed (note it is still in place in this video). Can any one place the exact date.
