The missiles work, but there was actually a problem with the warheads on the old posieden missles. We could have only punched a hole in the ground somewhere since testing showed that the warhead tended to not go off.

We get 1 failure in 5 attempts, after extensive pre-launch testing and repair work.
We've test-fired exactly ONE missile with a live warhead, and that was in 1962. The missile in question was a Polaris A-1, and that missile was retired from service in 1965.
