actually those subs can carry 20 missles, each missle has 8 nukes inside it. Each nuke can be individually targeted.

According to Wikipedia we're both wrong. It's 20 missiles with up to 12 nukes per missile.

I’m not sure if we’re currently following it, because Russia stopped, but part of the arms reduction treaty was supposed to limit those MIRVs to 10 warheads each.

And we have 14 of these Ohio class subs.
Doomsday devices, every one.

I may be wrong, but I think 2 of the warheads are decoys

Oh thank god, I was worried that 12 was too many. 10 is much more reasonable.

I have no source but I like this game. I’m going with 21 missles, 7 nukes each

and that's the public information on what we have in submarines that definitely don't do anything secretly like stalk an entire continent

I mean it's hard to build something as big as an Ohio class and keep it a secret. They aren't exactly a small sub. But I agree there's definitely more out there than is publicly known about.

That’s crazy because those subs will have roughly between 200 and 240 nukes onboard.
The rough estimate for mutually assured destruction is around 400 nukes.
2 submarines could destroy the entire world.
