Inspired to do this by various things, Novice doing the French one, working on my SMS nation's SLBM, and the general lack of them(only D5 & A3 had been done, poorly in the case of D5). So here's America's last line of defense in her Nuclear Deterrence!

Well, you can certainly see where Trident II gets the extra range from!

Indeed, it surprised me in just how much bigger it is compared to the Trident 1.

IIRC the C-4 was constrained (size wise) by the need to deploy on old Polaris boats. The D-5 had no such limitation as the Ohio class was built with larger launch tubes.

Seems right. Comparing Trident II with Polaris A-1, I didn't realize the size difference between the Polaris family and Trident.
Now maybe someone will make Russian SLBMs and Chinese.

Awesome, I'll start on them tonight. Might even do an SS-18 Satan mod for SLBM duties! CVN-size SSBN anyone? :P
