Five Reasons The Navy's D5 Missile Is The Most Powerful Weapon of The US Military The D5 is crucial to making deterrence credible, because unlike the land-based missiles and manned bombers in America’s nuclear “triad,” it is deployed on submarines beneath the seas. The 14 submarines and 280 D5 missiles comprising the sea-based deterrent can’t be tracked or targeted when they are operating, and thus there is no way an attacker could escape horrible retribution. It is the certainty of unacceptable retaliation that is America’s main insurance against nuclear war. The D5 missile and its antecedents in the Navy’s Fleet Ballistic Missile program are central to this strategic calculus. In fact, they have been more critical to American survival than any other type of weapon in the national arsenal. The reason you probably don’t know this is that the Navy’s Strategic Systems Programs office operates so smoothly there is never any bad news to report. It is arguably the most reliable, efficient operation in the Pentagon’s entire acquisition apparatus. As a result, the D5 is unknown to most people. Even those who follow military affairs closely seldom hear much about D5. So what I’d like to do here is briefly describe five reasons why the D5 missile is the most important weapon you’ve (probably) never heard of. I should note up front that Lockheed Martin, prime contractor for the D5, is a contributor to my think tank and a consulting client–as are several of its competitors.
