“Hope their buildup prevents our Trident submarines from launching a barrage of multiple headed warhead missiles.”

As I understand it, Obama has ordered the nuclear weapons removed from our subs. Any Navy people out there that can comment? (Recall, Japan sent a strongly worded note saying, in effect, “Hey! Where’s our umbrella?)

Utterly and completely false.

The Tridents are still out there and armed with nuclear weapons, and initial studies are being done on their replacements.

Where on earth did you hear such a thing? The only thing remotely close to this is when all the tactical nuclear weapons were removed from the surface navy and attack submarines during the Bush Sr. administration.

I never heard that. I did see that some Tridents were converted to Seal buses.
