It meant four successes in a row for the Edison, Ameri ca's eighth nuclear submarine. The sub has now completed its missile training and will make a final shakedown cruise before joining seven other Polaris-armed subs on station. The first Polaris was launched Saturday at 2:17 p.m. EST and the second at 5:36 p.m. EST. The Defense department, continuing its policy of treat ing underwater firings of the Polaris as secret, made no an nouncement of cither test. Both missiles could be seen from the Florida coast streak ing through the azure blue sky into layers of wind-blown clouds. The sleek, 410-foot Thomas Edison was cruising about 50 miles off shore about 50 feet below the water's surface for both shots. After bursting from the ocean's surface, the bottle-shaped, two-stage mis siles traced their course with white trails in the sky. The launchings came only hours after the U. S. Pacific fleet disclosed that Russisn nuclear submarines are oper ating in Pacific waters. The United States plans to beef up its nuclear sub fleet to 41 vessels in the next five years. The S100 million Edison, launched nearly a year ago, will become operational after a short shakedown ciuise. It will pick up its 16 nuclear tipped "live" Polaris missiles at Charleston, S. C.
