I don't want to get too off track here! But, I often wonder if people are truley aware of the current state of nuclear weapons.
By my understanding (and I'm not a nuclear weapons expert) the bombs that were dropped during the second world war were 1/2 kilo-tonne weapons ei. they were equivalent to 1/2 a thousand tonnes of TNT, or 500 tonnes of TNT stacked in one place and then deternated. (note end result).
Modern nuclear weapons are around 20 mega-tonne, or the equivalent of 20 million tonnes of TNT, or about 40,000 time more destructive as their WW2 forebares.
And 1 x trident sub carries @24 MRV missiles each carrying, 3 or 4?? such weapons????
