I had no idea. That doesn’t sound good.

There is an Submarine Force Museum in Groton and you can go aboard the Nautilus. Well worth the trip.

I was an Electronics Technician on USS Francis Scott Key (SSBN-657) from 1984 to 1988.

Our boat carried 16 Trident C4 SLBMs with 8 W76 warheads each.

We carried more firepower than has ever been released in the history of war.
