That is probably the hyper-sonic anti-missile just tested days ago from a bomber. The plan is for the deployment on Burke? class destroyers. I would hope they adapt those to operate from our Trident subs. To do so requires those missiles to breach the ocean water and ignite from there, like our nukes and cruise missiles do. Talk about a deterrent!
I just read the Navy wants them on their Virginia class and new Zumwalt attack subs. They would know better than me, but I'd still like to see a few on our Tridents. I trust the Tridents more than the attack subs. I have no reason why other than being the most updated class and secretive of submarines in the world.
