Missile of the Day: Subroc

My favorite naval missile is the Subroc(Submarine Rocket) which is essentially both a cruise missile, and a nuclear depth charge. The Subroc was introduced in 1965, and became a must have for American SSNs during the Cold War, because potential in fighting against the massive Soviet Submarine threat. Here are some articles about the Subroc from my favorite Cold War era military books.
