UNIT: Polaris Nuclear Missle

[CivGeneral]

After getting an insparation from some one doing the B-52 bomber, TVA22's CTP Nuclear explosion, and the Cut-n-paste technque. I have made the Polaris Nuclear Missle tough it was a quick and easy way (Basicly pasted a Polaris missle from CTP onto the Tactical nuke and is only one directional.)


The Polaris A-3 SLBM (left) next to its larger successor, the Poseidon C-3 SLBM, March 1968. Here is a little background on the Polaris SLBM

The Polaris A-3 was the latest and last version of the Polaris missile, the Navy's first underwater ballistic missile initially deployed in 1960. The A-3 was deployed between 1964 and 1981. In 1965, the Navy started development of the next generation of SLBMs and beginning in 1971 the Poseidon C-3 was deployed aboard 31 converted Polaris submarines, with 16 missiles on each submarine. The Polaris A-3 carried three W58 warheads, each with a yield of 200 kilotons. The Poseidon C-3 carried an average of 10 W68 warheads, each with a yield of 40-50 kilotons (the missile was tested with 14 warheads but carrying this number would restrict its range).

This unit is a cheper alternative to the tactical nuke and the ICBM and it also come much earlyer. *Sigh*, If you are still unsastified with the stats, Ill make it upgrade to the Tactical nuke.
