An interesting piece of Arizona history is that there were 18 Titan missiles spread throughout southern Arizona from 1963 to 1987. Part of a network of 54 missile silos spread out over three states. These monsters carried a 9 megaton nuclear warhead on them and were ready to launch in less than 60 seconds and could travel more than 6000 miles in less than 30 minutes. The only remaining one of the 54 that were originally in operation in the United States is right here in Arizona just south of Tucson at the Titan Missile Museum. It's a pretty cool experience for anyone interested in a unique piece of Arizona history.
