	Poseidon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Given Poseidon's connection with horses as well as the sea, and the landlocked situation of the likely Indo-European homeland, some scholars have proposed that Poseidon was originally an aristocratic horse-god who was then assimilated to Near Eastern aquatic deities when the basis of the Greek livelihood shifted from the land to the sea.
		Poseidon was a major civic god of several cities: in Athens, he was second only to Athena in importance; while in Corinth and many cities of Magna Graecia he was the chief god of the polis.
		Poseidon was a son of Cronus and Rhea.

	Poseidon missile
		The Poseidon missile was the second US Navy ballistic missile system, powered by a two-stage solid fuel rocket.
		It succeeded the Polaris missile beginning in 1972, bringing major advances in warheads and accuracy.
		Poseidon, although longer and considerably heavier than Polaris A-3, had the same 4600 km (2500 nautical mile) range.

	Poseidon C3 - United States Nuclear Forces
		POSEIDON was to carry twice the payload of the POLARIS A3 with significantly-improved accuracy.
		The Poseidon C3 was a two-stage solid propellant missile with a length of 34.1 ft. 74 in.
		POSEIDON incorporated substantial improvements in accuracy and resistance to counter-measures over previous generations of missiles, but its principal advantage was in its flexibility, which provided a capacity for delivery for multiple warheads, widely spaced, on separate targets over a variety of target footprints.

	UGM-27 Polaris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Polaris missile was a submarine-launched, nuclear-tipped ballistic missile (SLBM) built during the Cold War by the United States Navy.
		On May 6, 1962, a Polaris missile with a live W47 warhead was tested in Operation Dominic I, the only U.S. test of a live nuclear missile.
		The missile began to be replaced by Poseidon beginning in 1972.

	Trident II D-5 Fleet Ballistic Missile FBM / SLBM - United States Nuclear Forces
		The mostly-common missile was a variant to this common missile where, for Air Force application, a unique propulsion stage was used between the common first stage and second stage to configure a longer three-stage missile with increased range/payload performance.
		The flight test program of the missile and the guidance subsystems of the weapon system began in January 1987, and the overall performance results from the tests indicated that the missile was achieving its objectives for this phase of the program.
		During the 13th flight, the missile encountered a problem with the thrust vector control subsystem on its first stage, causing it to lose control and go off course about 55 seconds into flight.) The missile was destroyed by the range safety officer for safety reasons.

	Trident I C-4 - United States Nuclear Forces
		The TRIDENT I (C-4) is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) developed to replace the Poseidon missile in existing strategic missile submarines and to arm the OHIO class SSBNs.
		To fit within the same cylinder as the POSEIDON this third stage motor was to be mounted in the center of the post-boost vehicle with the reentry vehicles carried around the third stage.
		Its ignition is triggered by acceleration of the missile on ejection from the submarine.

		POSEIDON, which has its roots in POLARIS technology, is a two-stage, solid propellant missile, capable of being launched from a submerged FBM submarine.
		The first launching of a POSEIDON missile from a submerged submarine was successfully conducted on 3 August 1970.
		With MADISON's deployment, the POSEIDON missile was introduced into the nation's arsenal of operational deterrent weapons and brought to successful fruition the development program which was announced in January 1965 as a successor weapon system to POLARIS.

		The only one of its kind to be on public display, a Poseidon C-3 missile with all of its electronics, hydraulics and propulsion elements still intact, is on display for visitors to examine at USS Bowfin Submarine Museum and Park.
		The C-3 strategic missile was capable of being launched from a submerged Fleet Ballistic Missile submarine.
		The missile was donated to the Museum by the U.S. Navy through Lockheed Missile and Space Company, which manufactured the C-3 missiles for the Navy.

	Trident 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Trident I C-4 is a submarine-launched ballistic missile developed to replace the Poseidon missile in existing strategic missile submarines and to arm the Ohio class SSBNs.
		The missile was first deployed at sea aboard the USS Francis Scott Key in October, 1979.
		The major engineering challenges of the Trident missile development, which required innovation as well as state-of-the-art advances, derived from the goals of doubling the missile range in the same volume and weight while keeping the already surprisingly good accuracy at this doubled range.

	SSBN-726 Ohio-Class Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine SSBN - United States Nuclear Forces
		In addition to the new ULMS (extended-range POSEIDON) missile, which was to achieve a range twice that of POSEIDON, the SECDEF decision described an even longer-range missile to be required for a new submarine, whose parameters it would, in part, determine.
		This second missile, subsequently termed ULMS II, was to be a larger, higher-performance missile than the extended-range POSEIDON and to have a range capability of approximately 6000 nm.
		Although the missiles have no pre-set targets when the submarine goes on patrol, the SSBNs are capable of rapidly targeting their missiles should the need arise, using secure and constant at-sea communications links.

		Accurate missiles could destroy missiles in fixed land sites; were all strategic missiles so based, the side firing first could hope to disarm its enemy.
		A ballistic missile is also aimed at its target but is guided only during the brief powered phase of its flight.

	Trident missile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The range of both models of the missile is increased by an aerospike, a telescoping outward extension that reduces frontal drag by about 50 percent.
		After the missile leaves the tube and rises through the water over the submarine (in a bubble of gas -- water never contacts the missile) the first stage motor ignites, the aerospike extends, and the boost stage begins.
		The Trident II is also provided to the United Kingdom which equips the missile with their own warheads and deploys the missiles on the Royal Navy's own Vanguard class submarine''Vanguard''-class submarine/s.

	Trident I Missile Delivered to Navy Museum For Future Exhibit
		The gaining of the Trident missile was the result of the cooperation between the Naval Historical Center's (NHC) curator branch and the Navy’s Strategic System Program Office (SSP), in Washington, D.C. After a collaboration of more than two months with the SSP, Frank Thompson, NHC curator, managed to obtain the Trident I for display.
		The 34-foot long missile is divided in three sections: the forward section that is 6,110 pounds without nose nor cap; the second stage motor which weighs 17,600 pounds; and the first stage motor, 26,675 pounds.
		The Poseidon exhibit previously at the Museum was officially reported to the Treaty signatories as a static display, because it did not incorporate the distinguishing feature required of a TMOM.

	About Submarines
		The nuclear BALLISTIC MISSILE submarine is perhaps the ultimate development of the submarine's military potential, having the ability to launch as many as several dozen intercontinental ballistic missiles while submerged.
		Following the first underwater launch of a POLARIS missile from the U.S.S. George Washington in 1960, such submarines entered the U.S. and Soviet navies in increasing numbers, as well as those of Great Britain and France.
		U.S. nuclear submarine classes include those carrying the POSEIDON missile and a new fleet of TRIDENT submarines, first launched in the early 1980s.
