Trident missile system

The Trident missile system is a powerful part of the United States' strategic nuclear deterrent. It consists of ballistic missiles launched from submarines, capable of traveling long distances and delivering nuclear warheads. These submarines, called Ohio-class, operate quietly underwater, making them hard to detect, ensuring a secure second-strike capability. The Trident system provides a reliable, flexible, and survivable means for the U.S. to deter potential threats, maintain strategic stability, and ensure national security by delivering precise, assured retaliatory weapons if needed.
