Up from the Deep: The Return

From 1959 to 1964 a handful of American submarines armed with the Regulus cruise missile provided a forward deployed nuclear deterrent for the United States. Today only USS Growler (SSG-577) remains, docked in New York City and open to the public as a museum. Author Robert K. Harmouth served in Growler during the time when she operated on deterrence patrols off the Soviet Union's Pacific coast. In Up From the Deep: The Return, he has created a fascinating combination of history and personal recollection of those days.
