Minor revisions citations added Mark Lincoln (talk) 23:42, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

I have added requested citations and deleted the section "Operational Deployment" for two reasons. First I was unable to verify the numbers cited. Second there were no Titan Is deployed in 1961 as the Corps of Engineers Ballistic Missile Construction Office built the bases in 1960-62 and the first Titan I squadron, the 724 SMS di not go on alert until 18 April 1962. (Stumpf,, p 31). There was 1 SM-68 which was launched flown in 1961,SM-2, from VAFB 395A-1 on 23 Sept, 1961 so perhaps that is the source of confusion.The other numbers are credible given the possession of spare missiles by operational squadrons for replacement of missiles requiring maintenance.

Numbers

The sections HGM-25A Titan I#Flight testing and HGM-25A Titan I#Service history give a different breakdown in the missiles built.

For Test Models, 62 were said to have been built, but the number of XSM-68 is listed as 59.

The article for Titan Launches is even more confusing, in contrast to the cleaner article for Atlas Launches, which gives a different page for each decade.

The Flight testing lists 4 "V" type built and launched, the Launches Page lists only 3 of this type. The Flight Test Lists 7 "M" type Built and launched, the Launches Page lists 11; 8 in 1963; 1 in 1964; 2 in 1965. The Article doesn't break down details between test vairants either, unlike the Atlas page which gives SIGNIFICANT detail between Atlas A, B, C, D and the Mercury-Atlas modifications (each of which was itself almost a custom build job)

I may have to cross-check the astronautix & designation systems sites to see if I can get a better breakdown.2603:7080:CB3F:5032:A9CA:614F:331F:69BA (talk) 23:08, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
