		Ballistic missile submarines (or boomers, in American slang) carry submarine-launched ballistic missiles, missiles armed with nuclear weapons, for attacking strategic targets such as cities or missile silos anywhere in the world.
		Royal Navy submarines classes, including ballistic missile submarines, are letter-based; thus, all boats of the Swiftsure class begin with the letter S and the Trafalgars, the letter T. Though this has been the way with all Royal Navy submarines, they were originally designated alphanumerically, such as HMS A1 of the A-class of 1903.
		The Soviet Union suffered the loss of at least four submarines during this period: K-129 was lost in 1968, K 8 in 1970, K -219 in 1986, and Komsomolets (the only Mike class submarine) in 1989 (which held a depth record among the military submarines—1000 m).

		The first military submarine was the Turtle, a hand-powered spherical contraption designed by American David Bushnell that accommodated a single man. During the American Revolutionary War in 1776, the Turtle attempted and failed to sink a British warship, the HMS Eagle in New York harbor.

		Vickers Armstrong in Barrow-in-Furness constructed Resolution and Repulse and Cammell Laird in Birkenhead constructed Renown and Revenge.
		The design was a modification of the Valiant Class Fleet Submarine, but greatly extended to incorporate the missile compartment between the fin and the nuclear reactor.
		Upon decommissioning in the 1990s, the reactors were removed and all four submarines were laid up at Rosyth Dockyard.

		Resolution and Repulse were ordered from the lead yard, Vickers Armstrong in Barrow-in- Furness while Cammal Laird at Birkenhead won the contract for Renown and Revenge.
		The design of the submarine itself was basically a modification of the Valiant Class Fleet Submarine, but much enlarged to incorporate the missile compartment between the fin and the nuclear reactor.
		Towards the end of their lives the Resolution Class suffered maintenance problems but with the completion of Vanguard, the first Trident Submarine, in 1992, Revenge decommissioned in May followed by Resolution in October.

		It was also announced that a submarine on patrol would be at a lesser state of readiness, being on several days notice to fire, rather than on several minutes notice-a move away from the ‘war footing’ of the Cold War patrols.

	BBC - h2g2 - Ballistic Missile Submarines
		When a ballistic missile boat leaves port you can be sure that the event is being watched — probably by satellite, a few ground-based observers and more than likely a couple of submarines lurking and waiting to follow it to sea.
		The missiles themselves are generally just very thin metal tubes containing a huge quantity of solid or liquid fuel and oxidiser, usually in multiple stages and topped with a small guidance system and the warhead itself.
		It is known that a single ballistic missile submarine, the Xia, entered service in 1988 and was reportedly followed by a second of class, although the latter boat is no longer in service for reasons unknown.

	Intercontinental ballistic missile - RSCI, The Science Classification Index (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		An intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, is a long-range ballistic missile using a ballistic trajectory involving a significant ascent and descent, including sub-orbital flight.
		An ICBM differs little technically from other ballistic missiles such as intermediate-range ballistic missiles, short-range ballistic missiles, or the newly named theater ballistic missiles; these are differentiated only by maximum range.
		Each submarine is equipped with a complement of 24 Trident missiles, eight with Trident I missiles, and ten with Trident II missiles.

		The British nuclear stockpile is estimated to be approximately 160 Trident submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) warheads.
		Thus a missile that is deployed on a U.S. SSBN may at a later date deploy on a British one, or vice versa.
		British Trident II missiles carry a British-designed nuclear warhead, 160 of which are estimated to be in the stockpile today.

		The missile is ejected from the submarine by high-pressure gas.
		The Vanguard class submarine's main nuclear powered propulsion system is based on the second-generation Rolls-Royce PWR 2, which was developed specifically for the Vanguard Class.

	Submarine launched ballistic missile : SLBM
		Submarine launched ballistic missiles or SLBM's are ballistic missiles delivering nuclear weapons that are launched from submarines.
		Modern variants usually deliver multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs) each of which carries a warhead and allows a single launched missile to strike a handful of targets.
		The ballistic missile submarines had great strategical importance for the USA and Soviet Union during the cold war, as they could hide from satellite surveillance and fire their nuclear weapons without much warning, even close to the opponent's coast.
