    Yup Trident 2 Pem 1. Launched from USS Tennessee I was the 3" Launcher Operator that day. Did not think much of what happened that day until we saw this video on the TV news that night. It was pretty close. EOD had to clear the deck of the submarine of unburned rocket fuel self destruction that was triggered when it malfunctioned. Glad to be around still to talk about it.

    This was one of the first test launches of Trident II D-5. Miscalculation fired the rocket booster too soon. Missiles are propelled out of the boat by a pressure system because it can't fire rockets inside the boat or underwater. Rockets ignited too early and splashed back seawater that extinguished a rocket nozzle and sent the missile into a tumble. Observation surface vessel hit the self-destruct. The crew of the submarine didn't know of the failure and abort right away.

      @@cs7th the sixth largest economy by GDP. There are other markers which don’t paint such a rosey picture. But the government and media would prefer to ignore those. The British developed their nuclear deterrent in the 1950’s with a lot of help from the Americans. In those days however universities and the brightest students received grants to incentivise and enable their work. Now most universities are more concerned about the bottom line to finance work on blue sky research needed for projects such as the manhattan project. The next “big thing” is speculated to be AI which America, china and the EU are throwing money at on a scale the UK simply can’t compete with.

      First flight test launch of a Trident D5 at sea 1986. During broach, the massive size of the missile, sucked in water which damaged a nozzle actuator. This video, demonstrates the self destruct of the failed launch. The current computer models of the 80s, couldn’t accurately predict this hydrodynamic issue. Lockheed engineers redesigned the nozzle actuators to withstand the high pressure of water. 4 months later, the Trident successfully flew. And has over 160 successful test launches since, with no failures. Trident is considered to be the most successful deterrent missile system of the US Strategic Triad.

      The UGM-133A Trident II, or Trident D5 is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM), built by Lockheed Martin Space in Sunnyvale, California, and deployed with the United States and Royal Navy. It was first deployed in March 1990,[6] and remains in service. The Trident II Strategic Weapons System is an improved SLBM with greater accuracy, payload, and range than the earlier Trident C-4. It is a key element of the U.S. strategic nuclear triad and strengthens U.S. strategic deterrence. The Trident II is considered to be a durable sea-based system capable of engaging many targets. It has payload flexibility that can accommodate various treaty requirements, such as New START. The Trident II's increased payload allows nuclear deterrence to be accomplished with fewer submarines,[14] and its high accuracy-approaching that of land-based missiles-enables it to be used as a first strike weapon.[15][16][17]
