Trident missile
Nuclear submarine weapon
A Trident missile is a submarine-launched ballistic missile carrying nuclear warheads, deployed by the United States and United Kingdom.
The name evokes the three-pronged spear of Poseidon, god of the sea.
Trident missiles form the sea-based component of nuclear deterrence strategy, capable of being launched from submarines hidden in ocean depths.
