Just a note on this craft from Wikipdia:
The 702nd Wing was not declared to be fully operational until February
1961. In March 1961, President John F. Kennedy declared the Snark to be
"obsolete and of marginal military value", and on 25 June 1961, the 702nd
Wing was inactivated.
Many in the U.S. Military were surprised the Snark, due to its dubious
guidance system, was ever operational. In flight tests many were lost. A
missile launched in 1956 went so far off course that it landed in
North-Eastern BrBrazil where it wasn't found until 1983. Many of those
connected with the program commented in jest "That the Caribbean was full of
'Snark infested waters'
