Sub Richard B Russell.
Pilot Richard Beebo Russell
What kinda name is beebo?
That sub was an attack sub. The only missiles it carried were SUBROC anti-sub missiles.
It went to scrap in October 2001.
You seem so completely convinced of that. Source?

When I first saw the photo on the right, on its own, I thought it was Prince William.

SLAM - submarine surface to air missile system One of the novel features of the GAL design was the British SLAM (Submarine Launched Airflight Missile) system which could be fitted into the sail. This consisted of a pedestal with an optical sensor and a cluster of six Blowpipe SAMs. The system was also slaved to the periscope. In order to fire the missiles the pedestal mast was raised above the water, typically with the submarine at periscope depth. The missiles were guided in flight with a crewman using a joystick to guide the missile to the target. The Blowpipe missile was a first-generation shoulder-launched weapon loosely equivalent to the Redeye and GRAIL systems (i.e. the generation before Stinger). The concept was that the submarine would use these missiles to down or deter slow moving anti-submarine helicopters, particularly ones using dipping sonar which would present relatively unchallenging targets for the system.

Oh, yes, totally agree with that.

Hmm, I don't know what you think but, IMO, the missile in the vid was bigger than a blowpipe or a shoulder-launched weapon. It looked like a proper missile.

I believe that system was dropped in 1972. I might be wrong about the date. Who knows what modifications have occurred since. A tube designed to launch intercontinental missiles could be modded to shoot just about anything. Can you agree with that?
