The USS Norton Sound was responsible for missile-launching functions.
She also served as a training facility for crews involved in the testing.
The X-17A missiles to be used in the test were unfamiliar to those conducting the tests.
Exercises including assembly and repair of dummy missiles were conducted aboard the Norton Sound.
She also carried a 27-MHz COZI radar, which was operated by Air Force Cambridge Research Center, which was used to monitor effects of the shots.
