Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM)
Beginning in the early 1950s Cold War era, concerns about Soviet nuclear-armed bombers created the need for basing surface-to-air missiles near U.S. military installations. Built for the U.S. Army by Western Electric and initially deployed in 1953, the Nike-Ajax missile was a vital part of this type of localized defensive perimeter which had been installed around the country.
There were several Nike sites on the Peninsula. There are two Nike-Ajax liquid-fueled, upper stage rockets on display here in the park, flanking the entrance. With a range of thirty miles, these missiles could carry either a nuclear or conventional warhead.
Close-up of Ajax. I tried several close-up shots of Ajax while I was staying with Anna, but this is one of the only ones that turned out. He's such a curious cat that he always starts sniffing at my camera when it gets close!
