The first SSBN project in world history. Transferred to the fleet in 1960-1961.The project of the Skipjack nuclear torpedo boat was taken as a basis. A 40-meter compartment was inserted into the hull of this nuclear submarine, behind the wheelhouse, where 16 missile launchers were placed. The second compartment was also enlarged to accommodate ballistic missile launch equipment.The design of the boat is one and a half hull, classic for the American submarine fleet. For the first time, a gyroscopic roll stabilizer was installed, which reduced the roll amplitude by 5 times at depths of up to 50 m, which increased the accuracy of fire. The general layout of the George Washington boats with vertical shafts behind the wheelhouse, in the middle of the boat, has become classic for all boats of this class, except for the Soviet "Shark", and then only in the location of the wheelhouse.Missile launches could be carried out from depths of up to 25 m at a speed of no more than 5 knots and "sequentially", that is, after a short period of time. The first rocket could be launched 15 minutes after receiving the appropriate order. The rocket was ejected from the mine with compressed air, after which the starting engine of the first stage of the rocket was turned on. At first, the boat was armed with Polaris A-1 missiles, and in 1964-1967 they were replaced with Polaris A-3 missiles (hull length 8 m). In addition to missiles, the boat was equipped with 6 torpedo tubes with ammunition load of 18 Mark 16 mod 6 or Mark 37 torpedoes.Due to the relatively short flight range of the Polaris missiles and their focus on the USSR, these boats had to serve in the North Atlantic and in the Mediterranean Sea. All five boats of the project were included in the 14th submarine squadron of the Atlantic Fleet.Series composition: SSBN-598 J.
