Sidebar; a B2 with 18 2 megatonne nukes. OR, a Ohio-Class (SSBN) AKA 'Trident' submarine with (classified) ICBM @ 3.8 megatonne each?
I think that a nuclear sub holds some 36 nukes, with 8 launching tubes. Not sure tho. But it's much easier to kill two more crewmembers in a plane then the 160 on a sub. [img]smile.gif[/img]
