1961 - USS Cusk (SS-348) Year by Year
History
Crewmembers, Pictures and
Memorabilia
1961 saw the end of the Cusk's 14
years of historical contributions to the U. S. Navy's missile programs as well
as her more recent participation to the Regulus Missile program. It was in
September of this year that her Regulus Missile guidance equipment is removed
from the old Missile Center below the mess deck, and the Cusk was redesignated
SS-348. After the missile control equipment was removed, it was replaced
by the ECM (Electronic Counter Measures) equipment from its previous location
portside aft in the Control room.
