One USN Ohio class sub has 24 Trident D-5 missiles each with 5 W88 475Kt MIRV warheads. Next to the US and Russia as a whole, that's more accurate and destructive power the any of the other nuclear nations listed.
We have 14 of them.

Make that 14 Ohios minus 4 as the first four subs are being converted to carry out Tomahawk strikes & covert missions(SSGN conversion).
