Minor side note on this:  the Long Beach originally had provisions for
Polaris tubes, at a time when there was talk of fitting some surface
ships with them.  I'm not sure how far they went towards actually putting
the tubes and equipment in, but I'm fairly sure they never embarked real
missiles, and I believe the space has since been used for something else.
