BallisticMissileSubs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Tridents are the sea-based "leg" of the U.S. strategic triad-boomers, land-based ICBMs, and SSBNs --and account for more than 54 percent of all U.S. strategic assets.  These Trident missile submarines are our nation's leading nuclear deterrent, but use only 34 percent of our strategic budget and 1.5 percent of naval personnel. The remaining submarines of the class carry the improved Trident II D-5 ballistic missile.  Stealth is the key to the SSBN survivability, and OHIO class submarines are among the quietest nuclear-powered submarines ever built. Two complete crews, designated as "Blue" and "Gold," are assigned to each SSBN submarine.  While one crew operates the submarine at sea, the other attends school, conducts training, and hones their skills in shore-based simulators. www.submarinehistory.com /BallisticMissileSubs.html   (203 words)
