Book Description
The Germans developed the first ballistic missile, during the WW II. After the end of WW II, scientists began to develop ballistic missiles that could be launched from submarines. These submarines play strategic importance for the USA and the Russia and other nuclear powers, since the start of the Cold War, as they can hide from reconnaissance satellites and fire nuclear weapons with virtual impunity. This makes them immune to a first strike directed against nuclear forces, allowing each side to maintain the capability to launch a devastating retaliatory strike, even if all land-based missiles have been destroyed. UGM-133 Trident II, or Trident D5 is a submarine-launched ballistic missile, built by Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Sunnyvale, California, and deployed with the US and the Royal Navies. Trident II was firstly deployed in 1990, and still is in service. Each Trident II missile can carry up to twelve nuclear MIRV W88 warheads W76, but according to START I treaty, it carries only up to eight. The book should help shed some light on exciting environment of ballistic missiles and should be useful to anyone who is interested in the development of missiles to conventional.

Book Description
This report responds to your September 24, 1987, request, and subsequent discussions with your staff, to review the acquisition status of the Navy's Trident II system. The first Trident II system. The first Trident II submarine's initial operational capability (IOC) date is scheduled for December 1989. It will be armed with the D-5 missile, the Navy's newest and most deadly ballistic missile. The Trident II system will substantially increase the capability of the U.S. strategic submarine forces to destroy nuclear-hardened targets, including missile silos and command, control, and communications centers. Compared to the Trident I system, the Trident II system is designed to hit a target with improved accuracy and greater explosive power. Our review, conducted from November 1987 through September 1988, focused on the status of each major Trident II Acquisition element, including the work completed and the work remaining to deploy the Trident II. These acquisition elements consist of developing, testing, and producing the D-5 missile and its associated systems; constructing the Trident II submarines; and constructing and activating shore support facilities, including dredging waterway areas, at Kings Bay, Georgia. You also requested a management study of the Navy's Strategic Systems, Programs (SSP) command and this work will be addressed in a later report. (See app. I for further information on the objectives, scope, and methodology of this review.).
