How many nukes can a sub hold? We could park one near NK and tell them if they pull anything they are done.

IIRC, 24 D5 Tridents each with a possible 5 MIRV warhead collection. Each warhead can be upwards of 500kt to 1MT (once again IIRC). About 120 nukes ...

Now you could have an SSGN with 154 tactical nuclear Tomahawks as well.

Actually our the nukes on our subs could be thousands of miles away and hit NK.
