U.S. Navy Sub Test Fires Lockheed-built Missile

摘要

A U.S. Navy submarine floating beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean fired an unarmed Trident D5 strategic missile, marking the 135th consecutive successful test flight of the Lockheed Martin-built weapon since 1989. The Navy launched the missile as part of an operation to certify that the USS Nevada, recently returned to sea following a shipyard overhaul period, is ready for deployment.
