- RIG FOR ULTRA QUIET presents an overview of submarine warfare in WWII, and shows post-WWII submarine warfare activities. It especially focuses on early nuclear-capable guided missile submarine capabilities. The Soviet threat, then brought to the world's attention through the suppression of the Hungarian Revolution, is emphasized. Guppy type subs, including two Regulus guided missile boats USS Tunny and USS Barbero, along with nuclear submarines are shown undertaking a simulated Atlantic war sortie. At the 10:30 mark, as part of the war game, the Regulus submarines are shown making a retaliatory strike on Soviet bases. The Regulus submarines were a stop-gap measure, soon replaced by the underwater-launched Polaris submarines.
The Regulus missile carried one of the largest warheads of its era, and its story is well documented in the documentary "Regulus: The First Nuclear Missile Submarines" available on Amazon.com The SSM-N-8A Regulus was a ship- and submarine-launched, nuclear-armed turbojet-powered cruise missile deployed by the United States Navy from 1955 to 1964. Its barrel-shaped fuselage resembled that of numerous fighter aircraft designs of the era, but without a cockpit. When the missile was ready for launch, it was fitted with two large booster rockets on the aft end of the fuselage.
The film ends with images of submarines firing torpedoes against enemy ships and submarines.

Born in 1945 and knew very early that the USSR was my enemy. We had air raid sirens all over town. Learned how to dive under my desk in first grade. The threat was serious business.
I lived on a B-52 base, Andersen AFB to be exact then. Didn't have to tell me the threat then.
LOL the only enemy was the military industrial complex stealing from the taxpayer for an imaginary foe
John, I was born in '53. We those drills too.
A very risky time. Spy satellites did not yet exist, so you didn't quite know what the "other guy" was doing or where his forces were. The only hope was to have your forces on a hair trigger to minimize your losses in case of attack. Note that there is nothing in this film about deterrence. Why not let them know that you know they're there? Some sonar pings or a (then new) B-52 circling nine miles above their heads might have done it.
Been a long time since I have seen a Regulus launch.
+Merle Morrison Then you should definitely check out "Regulus: The First Nuclear Missile Submarines" on Amazon !
+PeriscopeFilm thanks - I will.
Was the Soviet Navy looking for Красный Октябрь?
I wish I knew what year this was done. :(

Because of the ineffectiveness of the Mk 14 torpedo US subs did not isolate Japan until Jan 1945. After finally having an effective weapon by November 1943 US subs isolated Japan in just a little over a year. The Pacific war might have effectively been over by the summer of 1943 if the Mk 14 had been an effective weapon instead of a waste of effort. Unfortunately the bureaucrats at the Bureau of Ordnance were protected by (expletive deleted) in the Navy's upper command structure.

So after sitting patiently in ultra-quiet for five days the submarine crews in this film had no beard, clean ironed clothes and freshly cut and washed hair ...
Comedy gold!
