I think 4000 miles is a lowball number. I read on the navy website that its more like 6000-7000 miles.

CNN (communist news network) had a piece early this a.m. (since pulled) that the tests were a failure. Wishful thinking from the MSM. What pukes!!!!

For reference, this is a picture of a Trident II D5 missile launched from a submerged submarine.

Below is a photograph comparing the Trident II D5 missile (on the left) with the earlier Trident I C4 missile. The unclassified specs for the Trident II D5 list a payload capacity of seven 300 kt MARV.

Never worried about the weapons, only the will.

I wonder if those Russian Trawlers still "shadow" our launches. I have seen US Choppers dropping messages on the Trawlers, asking them to change locations, so the launch could continue.
