I was on the first Polaris program, aboard the SSBN 602 Sub, Like the Time pieces we had 3 Inertial navigators, I was a qualified operator. We were under water for 2.5 months at a time and alway knew were we were for fire control missle launch. Again this required operators constant knowlege and attention with very, very little and almost no outside information. Orders we were to proceed undetected. They are even better now.
