Does the Ohio still carry D-5 missiles in the silos that don’t hold SBLMs?

The D-5, as I recall, is a very accurate, first strike weapon. Or at least, that’s the way the Russkies used to rate them.

D-5s are still but they are limited warhead numbers by past treaties.

Not in the Ohio, no. She's strictly a cruise missile platform. There are 14 ballistic missile subs that do.
