USS George Washington

Ballistic Missile submarine

What started as the original USS Scorpion, a Skipjack Class Attack Submarine, became the first vessel of America's first class of Ballistic Missile Submarine. While subsequent vessels of this class were built from scratch, the first vessel was made by cutting the Scorpion in half before inserting a Ballistic Missile Compartment. A then under construction Skipjack Class received the Scorpion name and Hull number. Equipped with the new UGM-27 Polaris Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile, it carried out successful tests with the new missile bringing a new age of deterrence with its ability to launch while submerged.

This was built primarily to be the ultimate showcase of my Cannon Fire Control system. A full 16 missile are equipped in this thing! Each with a cannon that will fire 3 "Warheads" with a big boom! I probably won't do this again, and will put more emphasis on unique features for the ballistic Missiles from here on.

    5) Switch Weapons to switch to the Warheads
    NUKE WARNING: Big Boom!
    6) Maneuver missile to Aim and FireWeapons (Slow Mo Recommended)
    7) Don't forget to reset trim when firing another missile!

    @HawaiiRanger I'm not too interested in the roleplay stuff, sorry. Also I would check with mods if you haven't about the upvote pay as it sounds like something that could infringe on some rules.

    @DanDaFreakinMan Thinking in the future I'll have my ballistic missiles simply drop their munitions instead of shooting them, so you can fly them over the target and just use yaw to aim the drop. I tested this when using default bombs on a test version of my polaris and it worked quite well. Also learned that for some reason regular bombs with nuke-scaled explosions lag FAR less than cannonshells with the same level booms for some reason.

    @ThomasRoderick Oh heck no this is nowhere near as advanced as that mad lad's sub. This is just me doing a one time thing of having the full armament of an SSBN installed.
