I so very much remember that 'Polaris Nuclear Sub' ad from the back of a comic I bought around 1962, and wondering how, if I obtained such a wonderful thing, I could then transport it to my grandparents' cottage and get it in the river. Thanks for that. A 50-year-old memory revived. Oh my.

It looked a lot less like its picture than the submarine does. Actually, I might have had a different model - mine certainly wasn't "over six feet long". I had one of the rocket ships.

We used to stage these elaborate (for us at the time)undersea battles with the couch. Like I've always said, cardboard makes the most fun.
