True, "Alabama" is even the name of a boomer submarine.

But both it, and all the nuke-capable bases (MXF, RSA, etc.) are federal, not state, which has been an important distinction in the past (especially in 1963).

In Birmingham they love the governor cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand_in_the_Schoolhouse_Door

I love watching the Hunt for Red October now that “boomer” means “out of touch old person” along with “fully loaded nuclear icbm submarine”
