Why would we send a Trident-armed SSBN to a port in South Korea? I think they mean B-1s and other nuclear-capable aircraft. Do we still have nuclear artillery?
We would never surface a Trident boat anywhere but Bangor, Washington in the Pacific fleet, Kings Bay Georgia for Lantflt.
But there is always at least one Trident boat on patrol in the Northern Pacific.
Always.
And we always have the ability to get EAM launch orders to them.
Always.
B-1’s are not nuke enabled, by Treaty with Russia. As far as I know only the B-52 is allowed by treaty (for long range strategic bombers as a class).
Of course each F-35 can carry two of those B-61 or B-83 nukes. They would force a new word into Norklandian language:
“Megatonnage”.
