Features

This is the 1/253 Scale Polaris Nuclear Submarine Abraham Lincoln Plastic Model Kit from Revell.

The USS Abraham Lincoln SSBN 602 was the first US Navy ship to carry the name of this famous president. Launched in mid-1960, the Abraham Lincoln was the fifth and final member of the George Washington-class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines. Armed with 16 Polaris missiles, the Abraham Lincoln could strike targets up to 1500 miles away.

The concept of the guided-missile submarine evolved from the early feasibility testing of launching the Loon missile (US-produced copy of the V-1) from modified Balao-class submarines like USS Cusk in the late 1940s. The first purpose-built guided-missile submarine was USS Halibut SSBN 587 which carried up to five Regulus missiles each with a nuclear warhead and a range of approximately 500 miles.

The problem with these early guided missile submarines was that the cruise missile needed to be assembled on deck and fueled before it could be launched, and all of this must be done while surfaced, leaving the submarine vulnerable to detection and attack. Cruise missiles which could be launched while submerged were still decades away.

The development of the Polaris missile led to the capability of launching while submerged using compressed air to blow the missile out of its launch tube at sufficient velocity to broach the surface and ignite its rocket motor. The George Washington class of ballistic missile submarines were the first of their kind in the world and served for over 20 years before being replaced with the Trident missile-armed Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines still in service today.
