	Submarine-launched ballistic missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Submarine-launched ballistic missiles or SLBMs are ballistic missiles delivering nuclear weapons that are launched from submarines.
		Ballistic missile submarines have been of great strategic importance for the USA and Russia since the Cold War, as they can hide from reconnaissance satellites and fire their nuclear weapons without much warning, even close to the opponent's coast.
		In September of 1955, the Soviet Union was the first country in the world to launch a ballistic missile from a submarine.

	Chinese Defence Today - JL-1 (CSS-N-3) Submarine-Launched Ballistic Missile
		The JuLang-1 (NATO codename: CSS-N-3) is a two-stage, solid-propellant submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) developed for the PLA Navy’s Type 092 (Xia class) nuclear missile submarine.
		China began to develop an intermediate-range, tow-stage, solid-propellant submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) in the mid-1960s as a part of its nuclear missile submarine programme.
		In the second stage the missile was launched from a land-based launch tube simulating the launch tube onboard the submarine.

	MissileThreat :: SS-NX-30
		It is a submarine launched version of the SS-27, which represents the pinnacle of ballistic missile technology and is currently under development.
		Both missiles are still in their essence ballistic missiles, rather than cruise missiles, and as such remain quite vulnerable in what has always been the most vulnerable phase for ballistic missiles, the boost phase.
		The test coincides with Russia’s launch of two Kosmos military satellites today, as reported by Itar-Tass, which are used to monitor ballistic missile launches.

	Sagarika / Dhanush- India Missile Special Weapons Delivery Systems
		DRDO may also be developing a 300-km submarine-launched ballistic missile, Sagarika, based on the Prithvi.
		The Indian Navy is apparently seeking another variant of the Dhanush surface-to-surface ballistic missile that is capable of striking land targets within a range of 500 km.
		It is unclear whether this missile would be deployed on India's new nuclear missile submarine.

	Articles - Ballistic missile
		The first ballistic missile was the V-2 rocket, developed by Nazi Germany in the 1940s, which was successfully launched for the first time on October 3, 1942 and used for the first time in operation on September 8, 1944.
		A ballistic missile is a missile that follows a prescribed course that cannot be signifigantly altered after the missile has burned its fuel (its course is governed by the laws of ballistics).
		Long and medium range ballistic missiles are generally designed to deliver nuclear warheads because their payload is too limited for conventional explosives to be efficient.

	Resolution Class Ballistic Missile Submarines
		The United States later offered the system to France, who declined, preferring to develop their own submarine launched ballistic missile programme.
		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.
		While America would supply the missiles, the launch tubes and the fire control system, the warheads and submarines would have to be British made.

	Financial Times: Submarine-launched missile to be tested
		China plans this year to test a submarine-launched ballistic missile with a range of 5,000 miles, a decision that may raise tensions in the region and concern in Washington.
		The missile's range is expected to be about three to five times that of its predecessor, the JL I. The manoeuvrability of submarines would also give Beijing the ability to launch an attack far from China's shores.
		The Cox report said the solid-fuel JL II is a version of the land- launched Dongfeng 31 missile, which it said could be tested this year and deployed by early 2002.

	China tests ballistic missile submarine - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics - December 03, 2004
		China's military has launched the first of a new class of ballistic missile submarines in what defense officials view as a major step forward in Beijing's strategic weapons program.
		The submarine is in the early stages of being outfitted and is not yet equipped with new JL-2 submarine-launched nuclear missiles.
		The new 094-class submarine was launched in late July and when fully operational in the next year or two will be the first submarine to carry the underwater-launched version of China's new DF-31 missile, according to defense officials.

	Colloquium on Contemporary History, Seminar 9
		In September 1955, the Soviet Union launched an SS-1B Scud-A ballistic missile from a surfaced submarine.
		The world's first operational, submarine-launched ballistic missile was the SS-N-4 (Soviet R-13), a surface-launched, 350-nautical-mile ballistic missile carrying a nuclear warhead.
		One drawback of the Polaris missile, however, was its limited range, which severely restricted the ocean operating area of the SLBM submarines if they were to target Moscow and other locations in the interior of the Soviet Union.

	R-29
		The range of launch vehicles derived from decommissioned ballistic missiles offered for sale by Russia after the cold war.
		The Russian Navy launched a three-stage R-29R Volna from the submarine Borisoglebsk in the Barents Sea on a suborbital flight.
		The Russian Navy launched the IRDT-2 spacecraft using a surplus R-29R Volna from the submarine K-44 Ryazan.

	Vangaurd Class Ballistic Missile Submarines
		However, the number of warheads carried by each submarine was reduced from 96 to 48 (the number originally carried by Polaris submarines) and the total number of warheads held in stock was reduced to "fewer than 200".
		All four Trident submarines are based at HM Naval Base Clyde (Faslane) and are members of the 1st Submarine Squadron.
		Considering a Trident submarine was already on patrol, this suggested that Britain had taken the Russian threat seriously enough to have two vessels at sea simultaneously.

	Disarmament Documentation: US National Intelligence Estimate on the Ballistic Missile Threat, January 10
		Emerging ballistic missile states continue to increase the range, reliability, and accuracy of the missile systems in their inventories-posing ever-greater risks to US forces, interests, and allies throughout the world.
		North Korea is nearly self-sufficient in developing and producing ballistic missiles and has demonstrated a willingness to sell complete systems and components that have enabled other states to acquire longer range capabilities earlier than would otherwise have been possible and to acquire the basis for domestic development efforts.
		The NIE describes new missile developments and our projections of possible and likely ballistic missile threats to the United States, US interests overseas, and military forces or allies through 2015; updates assessments of theater ballistic missile forces worldwide; discusses the evolving proliferation environment; and provides a summary of forward-based threats and cruise missiles.

	North Korea Said to Develop Sea-Based Ballistic Missile -- 08/04/2004
		One is a land-based ballistic missile with an estimated range of 2,500-4,000 km; the second is a missile to be deployed on a ship or submarine platform, with a range of at least 2,500 km.
		The systems appeared to be based on decommissioned Soviet R-27 ballistic missiles, it said, adding that during the 1990s the North Koreans were able to acquire designs, and possibly components, for the R-27.
		The retiring head of the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency, Lieut.-Gen. Ronald Kadish told Bloomberg in an interview published early last month that while North Korea had stuck to the moratorium it declared in 1999, it had not stopped developing missiles and had in fact "significantly" improved its ballistic missile capability.
