Posted: 5/22/2008 1:56:37 AM | | Reminded me of something you may already know. The total number of live, nuclear-armed missiles the U.S has fired is . . . one. In 1962, a sub in the S. Pacific launched a Polaris missile from underwater, and it went the full distance and exploded right over the target. I always figured President Kennedy wanted to see for himself that these new gizmos of the Navy's would work under real-life conditions--just in case he ever had to use them. | |
