D5 was discussed earlier.
D5 = an Avalanche. The largest Avalanche possible.
Not size, but probability of happening, or risk to you if you are in the avalanche zone. Probability of avalanche is high - near certain, stay away, watch from a safe distance.
>> D5 = an Avalanche. The largest Avalanche possible.
That’s the latest consensus. But now that I’ve staked out a position in favor of that idea, I see that on the chans they are discussing a new one. Something about a D5 organization of countries?? I didn’t pay close enough attention. If I stumble on it again, I’ll report back.
I thought the new theory was credible. At any rate, it’s not DefCon 5, IMO.
Might have an addition to that...the Trident II (D5)
http://www.navy.mil/navydata/fact_display.asp?cid=2200&tid=1400&ct=2
Which is carried on Ohio-class Fleet Ballistic Missile submarines, of which type IIRC the CIA had obtained permission to own/operate one or more.
After further rabbit hole diving, found that all 18 of the original Ohio class subs are still in operation although only 14 still carry the Trident missile while the remaining 4 (Ohio, Michigan, Florida & Georgia) were converted from SSBN to SSGN in which:
...22 Trident launch tubes were reconfigured to carry either canisters containing seven Tomahawks each - for a total of up to 154 missiles - or special operations weapons or equipment. The other two launch tubes were converted to lockout chambers, allowing for the embarkation and deployment of special operations forces such as Navy SEALs.
Might be TMI and it might be another rabbit hole....
I can't really decide which boat I'd least like seeing the CIA operating. (I do know by repute that those Ohio boats are a perfect beotch to locate....)
