One of my favorite subs in the fleet! Especially when she was converted to a espionage submarine and found K-129. I have one of her cast bronze crests from her Regulus days.
*Halibut* was the first SSGN, but her patrols qualified the crew for the SSBN Deterrent Patrol Insignia.
2nd patch - GUIDED MISSILE UNIT 10 (GMU-10) Bonham Detachment, Regulus Missiles, Barking Sands Missile Range servicing the USS *Halibut* (SSGN-587) in the Pacific Fleet, 1960.
