4, 726-729 were, at one time, scheduled to be converted to SSGN’s - cruise missile launch only.
The remaining 14 of the 18 built were of D-5 (except the remaining early C-4 boats upgraded to D-5 Trident II status).
Whereas they used to have about 14 MIRV’s per missile, they were reduced to 3/per — as I recall.
If true, that would be 14 x 24 x 3. 1008 warheads sailing on Tridents.
Nothing to sneer at, of course. But a shadow of what it once was. And given maintenance rotation, that is not the number sailing at any given time.
Okay, sounds like you know something about this. That’s why I asked. So should I be sleepless since we only have some 1000 warheads on our Tridents? And how many Tridents are at sea at any given time? Think I’m going to go get a drink. Seems I was entirely wrong about our nuke defenses.
