The report presents the results of the single-unit full-scale prototype firing conducted at the Polaris Test Complex, San Francisco Naval Shipyard, on October 27, 1965. The primary objective of the test was to determine the feasibility of firing the full-scale prototype with a flooded manifold; this objective was accomplished. Under severe operating conditions, the manifold did not rupture, and no effect on gas generator operation was detected. Test results show that it will not be necessary to furnish an isolation valve between each module and the manifold in the final underwater system. However, a means will be provided to isolate the buoy inlet pipe from the manifold when replacing modules underwater. (Author)
