That's a lot of missiles! Btw, weren't the Regulus II launched at 45degrees or so and nor vertically?

I concur. I've never seen a picture of a vertical Regulus or Regulus II. The angles I have seen have all been 30° or less.

This drawing is from Norman Polmar, if I'm right.

It's in his "Cold War Submarines" book, page 252 according to Google.

This design was done for launching aircraft and not the Regulus II missile.

Acourding some websites and books both Regulus and aicrafts

The aircraft and missiles would certainly have been stored vertically and unloaded vertically. I suspect both the RGM-15 and F4D (I think it was) would in fact be launched at a 30ish-degree angle, like real-life ZLL fighters.

It's a nice drawing, and it's nice to see. I think the number and/or size of the flooding holes in the casing are excessive. Particularly, having such ports in the region of the bow planes seems unlikely!
