They aren't 'gone' though. A missile base is not ideal for a raze. Rugged, like. The launch bay floor of an Atlas E (Ca 1962) is 25 feet of reinforced high slump concrete, and by reinforced, I mean 1" welded rebar all balled up in a knot. That was a 25psi overpressure design. The Minuteman sites are designed for 300psi overpressure.
Those sites are decommissioned and reverted to the original owner, but they are still there. Remnants will still be there when the universe dies a thermal stasis death. |

They blew-up the last missile silo (SALT?) in 1997 at Whitewood,SD. We lived there at the time. Russians,News, US generals in town. Had to work,didn't get to see it. |

Solid fuel missile sites are boring as shit, though. It's just a boring concrete lid in a little 1.5 acre hurricane fence park and the launch control is to hell and gone miles away. The liquid fuel era sites are huge complexes with thousands of square feet filled with refrigeration machinery and hydraulic pumpage and all kinds of involved industrial shit just to handle the fuels and oxidizers. When they got to solid fuels, all that became unnecessary. Drill a hole, lined with 30' of reinforced high-slump, and all that's needed is inspect the fuel and service the Tritium in the warhead now and then. No more vast complexes with 45 staff for one missile, 2 guys for ten missiles and some Air Police patrols. Bubba Gump Missile Corporation is what they got

Bubba Gump Missile Corporation is what they got They didn't blow up the site, just the entrance. It would literally require nuclear demolition to destroy the site. And they were obsolete by then, anyway. A maintenance bitch beyond F14 by orders of magnitude when in service and by 1997 they were no longer current. But yeah, under Salt II, the entrances had to be sealed. The Russians née Soviets did the same with their SS-18 "Satan" sites, also way past service by then also. |
