December 24, 201015 yr Don't miss it ! Some hours of in-deep and good reading. Very well researched, detailed and illustrated web site, browse about the ship and about the Talos missile: http://www.okieboat.com/ http://www.okieboat.com/Talos%20history.html The author, Phillip R. Hays PhD LT USNR-R, was a Nuclear/Special Weapons Officer on the USS Oklahoma City (CLG-5) from January, 1970, to April, 1972, as related in http://www.okieboat.com/Talos%20antiradiation%20shot.html
December 24, 201015 yr Very nice indeed, great find. I enjoyed the story about the ARM Talos against a radar van.
January 3, 201115 yr I visited her in 1983 and 2003 during Niagara Falls trips. The first time, the whole missile area was CLOSED TO VISITORS! The second time, I only had two hours to gallop through the whole museum, so I missed a lot about her missile system setup. It can't be much different from her sisters, but I'd like to know for sure.

January 4, 201115 yr Author Thanks Wombat, your pictures are a very good complement for the Okieboat site. When I was very young the Talos missile was the maximum expression of technology and of the things to come, now, Talos and his launching ships are as oldtimer as steam engines
January 4, 201115 yr Yeah, man. When I was a kid, TV stations would use shorts provided by the DOD to fill in time early in the AM. One of the "WOW" ones was about the "3 T's at Sea" - Terrier, Talos, and Tartar. I always prefered the Terrier for some reason.
