That looks like the original design for the Permit class as SSGNs.
They were re-ordered as Thresher class SSNs after the Regulus program was cancelled
Same illustration is in the book.

That's Regulus II alright. I think there is a kit out there for USS Growler?

That's concept art for a USN keel-up Regulus II armed SSGN from 1958.
You can see it and more in Ryan Crierie's Flickr.

Actually, the missile looks rather much like a Regulus II, which would match with the 1959 date on the photo description. The sub is rather Soviet-esque, though, with the blended edges between the sail and the hull.
But as the description says, an artist's depiction of a new American SSGN makes sense.

Nice looking sub, but clearly not Polaris. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BS-PHOTO-bpo- ... 2eccf7341fThe missiles look more Soviet than US. Nice looking sub, but clearly not Polaris.
