Its amazing how fast we progressed with weapon size and capability in 955 I went to 757 Class on loading and checkout of AW not TN weapons. In just 10 years they have minatureized it and made it that it could be loaded anywhere with minimum equipment ours was the B57 F84F and B66 aircraft....in school I was part of a B57 B/C crews......

The Pershing 2 missile I helped design in the early 1980s had a W85 nuclear warhead which had controllable yield and the top yield was much greater than the WWII nukes. But, the size was about the size of a basketball.
