The submarine USS Growler (SSG-577) was commissioned on August 30, 1958. It was a guided missile submarine capable of launching and guiding the Regulus I nuclear missile. Growler made eight strategic deterrent patrols to the Western Pacific Ocean, waiting for an order to launch its missiles at military facilities in Russia. Growler was decommissioned on May 25, 1964. In 1989, it opened to the public at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.
