I for one had no idea we had ever had nuclear missiles on Okinawa, and it must have taken some serious political arm-twisting for the Japanese to allow us to base them there. But given the time that the guy was stationed there, it would be sort of like the missiles we had in Turkey -- ICBMs were just being developed in the US and most of our missile fleet were only IRBMs.
