No offense intended here, but David, THAT was funny as all hell, I haven't stopped laughing yet!!

Harley, thanks for the input pal...now you've got me curious. I can almost swear I heard 90 seconds and I was under the impression that the boosters ignited (under water) immediately after ejection from the launch tube. I'm going to look out for that program and record it. Believe me this is not a matter of who's right or wrong, missiles have always fascinated me. Keep the info comin...more pics would be nice if anyone's got any. Regards,

Richie
