That’s awesome. It is real?

There was a problem with the first-stage engine nozzle. It got wet because the water plume from the submarine launch followed the missile more than expected. Launched from the Tennesee in March 1989. Google for Trident II failure.

thanks, that's the one I was recalling. Do you remember the rocket at Vandenberg that made a similar spiral in crash?
