Only 13 of the 54 were used for spacelaunch. It ended up that a Delta

As for the Titan I's, there were no launch pads for them. The cape
ones had been converted to T-II and T-IIIA. The VAFB were only silos
with elevators, not very useful for space launch.

The Russians don't have problems with silo space launches.
