My favorite out of all the UFO TV series vehicles.
I had an uncle that worked for a defense contractor. One of the projects he was around was a mechanism to determine when it was feasible to launch a Polaris missile, depending on surface conditions.
That is, when the missile exited the water, a wave wasn't presenting itself to interfere with the missile.
