(Photo: Frigate Bird: on May 6, 1962, a UGM-27 Polaris A-2 missile with a live 600 kt W47 warhead was launched from the USS Ethan Allen; it flew 190 km (120 mi), re-entered the atmosphere, and detonated at an altitude of 3.4 km (2.1 mi) over the South Pacific. The test was part of Operation Dominic I. Because the weapon was substantially modified before the test and because it flew a low-trajectory, low-range profile, the test was not deemed to have been as effective at dispelling doubt about the readiness and effectiveness of rocket-powered nuclear missiles as it was hoped to be.)
