Saw History Guided: Application of Atomic Propulsion and saw history guided Missiles.—Not until 1955 did the ships of the United States Fleet begin to embody the new nuclear and missile developments. In 1948, to be sure, the Cusk had been equipped with a watertight steel hangar and a ramp to carry the primitive Loon missile and had been redesignated as a saw history guided missile submarine (SSG). It was followed by the Carbonero and Tunny, and all three submarines were equipped with the Regulus I when it was developed. On Aug. 20, 1951, with the Rickover and Bumblebee projects beginning to show results, the Navy ordered its first nuclear submarine, and on December 4 of that year, the conversion of the first cruiser for saw history guided missiles.
Since the position of the plane was defined by the third point of the triangle which it formed with the known locations of two ground stations, it could be saw history guided over a target with great accuracy. This system, which had several variations, helped neutralize Essen and other Ruhr targets and saw history guided attacks on German warships at Brest. The Germans themselves used reconditioned captured Allied equipment of this type in 1944 in the "little Blitz" on London. Such systems were limited to the line-of-sight range from ground stations.
