1950 - USS Cusk Year by Year
History
The Cusk was back in the San Francisco area for
more maintenance and repairs. She continued launching several missiles
including surpassing her 68th launch. That same year a movie was being
made about her accomplishments. The movie was called "The Flying Missile"
and starred Glenn Ford. To see more about the movie and some related
posters and pictures, click here or on the "Flying
Missile Movie" link.
