USS Growler (SSG-577)
USS ''Growler'' (SSG-577), an early cruise missile submarine of the ''Grayback'' class, was the fourth ship of the United States Navy to be named after the growler. ''Growler'' and ''Grayback'' were the only two submarines built in this class. What makes ''Growler'' and her sister unusual was her nuclear armament, deployed on a non-nuclear diesel-electric submarine. Her mission was to provide nuclear deterrent capability off the Pacific Coast of the Soviet Union during peak years of the Cold War, from 1958 to 1964. She became obsolete with the deployment of nuclear-powered submarines equipped with ballistic missiles.
==Construction and training==
''Growler'' was laid down on 15 February 1955 by the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard of Kittery, Maine. She was launched on 5 April 1958 sponsored by Mrs. Robert K. Byerts, widow of Commander Thomas B. Oakley, Jr., who commanded the third ''Growler'' on her 9th, 10th, and fatal 11th war patrols. ''Growler'' commissioned at Portsmouth on 30 August 1958 with Lieutenant Commander Charles Priest, Jr., in command.
After training exercises off the East Coast ''Growler'' sailed south for her shakedown cruise, arriving at the Roosevelt Roads Naval Station, Puerto Rico, on 19 February 1959. After a brief run back to Portsmouth, she returned to the Caribbean Sea in March to train in launching Regulus I and Regulus II nuclear cruise missiles, assisted by USS ''Runner'', which was one of several submarines with Regulus guidance equipment. ''Growler'' returned to Portsmouth 19 April via Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and New London, Connecticut.
