Seven per tube may be a stretch as the pressurization equipment for the canister membranes is a real pain.

You're forgetting one thing. Anything an engineer can put on paper WILL WORK. Just ask him.

Nope, it's correct, seven skinny Tomahawks in each fat Trident tube.

The plan right now is that we will give up two Tridints, I think the Ohio and Florida, send the Florida to Kings Bay as thier SSGN and keep the Ohio here in WA. Kings Bay has more subs, so they send two over, really not sure on which ones but guessing Kentucky and Tennesse, to keep a balance of power betweeen each coast.

Bump so my "bubblehead" pardner can read it in the morning.

Don't forget Chuck Yeager on the 27th, I will check on tickets this week.

Just remember, better a bubblehead than a target.
