Relative to the Cold War, the display includes a Mk-143 armored box launcher which was used on certain surface ships to launch BGM-109 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. There is also a Regulus Cruise Missile at a nearby salvage yard awaiting restoration. In addition, Dr. Pewitt acquired a Pershing I intermediate range ballistic missile that will also be restored for display.
