GMGRU-I Det. Golf GUIDED MISSILE GROUP ONE, Detachment Golf, is assigned to the LEXING- TON to provide airborne delivery of the REGULUS I guided missile. Working in close cooperation with the missile cruisers and submarines of the Seventh Fleet, the GMGRU team has demonstrated its ability to convey an atomic payload to a target at near sonic speed, with pinpoint accuracy. Notable among the successful operations that have been conducted was the 270 mile strike of a REGULUS fired from the cruiser HELENA. Taking over guidance 180 miles out, the FJ-6 Fury piloted by Lt. R.P. Blount shepherded the bird to ta point directly over the target island, where the charge was fired by remote control. With but two aircraft allocated to the detachment, the highest standards of maintenance have been required in order to meet scheduled operations, often demanding twenty-hour working days from the capable land enthusiastic crew, to whom must go the ultiniatei credit. A I I ' L A Q 222 REGULUS, a swift-striking 34 foot radio controlled missile, blasts off cruiser HELENA for GMGRU guidance. LCDR v.F. FORSBERG LT R.P. BLOUNT LTJG A.J. THAYER GMGRU-1 Front Row: D.L.
