Today in 1962, the United States conducted FRIGATE BIRD, the only US nuclear proof test of a live warhead on an operational ballistic missile. In the Pacific, the USS Ethan Allen (SSBN-608) launched a Polaris A1 SLBM toward Christmas Island (Kiritimati). The W47 Y1 warhead’s yield was about 600 kt.
