Trident Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile

The Trident ballistic missile was designed in the late 1970s for the Ohio class submarine. The newest version of the missile was not deployed aboard U.S submarines until after the Cold War. Never the less it's large range, accuracy and payload finally make it possible for American submarines to have counter-force capability.
The following illustration is of the first Trident missile deployed in the mid 1980s. This great illustration shows it's size, but fails to depict a cross section of it's large payload which would have been great for this particular book.
