The Kings Bay submarine base in Georgia had a difficult Second Great Depression. The entire United States Navy ballistic and cruise missile submarine force was homeported at Kings Bay. It was a powerful force, capable of devastating any nation on Earth. One of their submarines, USS Georgia, followed Federal orders and fired those nuclear missiles at Virginia. Nobody knows why their missiles did not detonate, and we probably never will. A nearby attack submarine, ironically the USS Virginia, sunk the Georgia with torpedo fire immediately after the larger boat began firing her missiles. That kept the Georgia from firing the full volley most military historians believe she was attempting to fire, and removed all chances of finding out why her crew executed the order in the first place. It was a horrible blow to both the tight-knit submarine fleet, and to Kings Bay itself. They had all known that they were meant to fight America’s enemies. The fact that they had been ordered to kill Americans, and that one of them had actually attempted to do so, shook them all to the core of their beings. That attack would change America’s submarine service forever.
