Trident II D5 list a payload capacity of seven 300 kt MARV.
A 20 kt bomb blew Hiroshima of the map in 1945. How many Trident II D5s are there on an Ohio class sub?... 20?
THAT is some serious destuctive power.

The Ohio class fleet ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) has 24 missile tubes.
By my math, that is
(300/20) x 7 x 24 = 2,520 Hiroshima yields per SSBN submarine.
Serious destructive power indeed!

24 x 7 = 168 warheads
They are also variable yield weapons. Each one could be able to be cranked up to 1.2 MT = 1,200,000 tons of TNT. The instruments of Armageddon or the US's Death Star.
