History[edit]

Strategic deterrent[edit]

Between 1959 and 1964, SUBRON 1 operated as part of the US Navy's contribution to the United States' strategic nuclear deterrent. A total of five submarines designed to operate the SSM-N-8 Regulus cruise missile were stationed at Pearl Harbor to undertake deterrent patrols in the Pacific Ocean. The five boats of SUBRON 1 (4 diesel-electric and 1 nuclear-powered) maintained a constant presence, with at least four Regulus missiles at sea at all times for the five years of the weapon's use as part of the nuclear triad. SUBRON 1 was eventually replaced in this role by SUBRON 15, which operated seven ballistic missile submarines from 1965 onwards.^[5]
