It isn’t insane, that is what they can do...I did count 17 SM-2 missile launches though...!

I'm sure there was some editing there mixing various camera angles. Still, every missileer loves to actually fire missiles. Hopefully they had some interesting targets. We usually do...

I bet the crews were excited to put that show on. I know it's a lot of work, and many extra hours were spent preparing and executing, but getting to show off for the Commander in Chief is incredibly rewarding.

I would not undersell the training aspect of that in the least. I would think it is extremely valuable anytime you fire anything. I always think of those Trident subs firing a missile-that has to be very satisfying to know you can follow the procedure, it will work, the thing will fire, and hit downrange where it is supposed to.
