三叉戟II型彈道飛彈
UGM-133A三叉戟II型彈道飛彈,又稱三叉戟D5是一款潛射彈道飛彈(SLBM),由洛克希德·馬丁公司位於加州森尼韋爾的空間系統公司研發製造,裝備美國以及英國海軍。三叉戟II型於1990年首次服役[4],是三叉戟I型的改進型號,打擊精度更高,載荷、航程也均有增加。是美國核三位一體重要的一環,也是美國核威懾重要的組成部分。三叉戟II型是具有威懾力的海基彈道飛彈,也是美國在新削減戰略武器條約的談判過程中有力的籌碼。由於彈頭載荷的增大,美國軍方只需要更少的核潛艇就能達成同樣的核威懾力[10],且由於及精度很高,接近陸基彈道飛彈,三叉戟II型可用於一次打擊。[11][12][13]

戰備
目前搭載三叉戟II型的潛艇有14艘美國海軍的俄亥俄級核潛艇以及4艘英國海軍前衛級核潛艇,每艘俄亥俄級能搭載24枚,前衛級能搭載16枚(因美俄簽署了新削減戰略武器條約,俄亥俄級把搭載數量減少到20枚)。1989年設計完成後,已經有161次成功的試射。[14]最近一次試射由俄亥俄級內布拉斯加號於2018年3月執行。[15]另外大約有少於10次的發射失敗[16],上一次發射失敗是2016年6月份,英國皇家海軍前衛級復仇號潛艇_(S31)發射三叉戟II型失敗[17]。2002年美國海軍公布延壽計劃, 三叉戟II型預計將服役至2040年。[18]

During the past 15 years, the United States has done so much to upgrade its first strike capabilities – most notably by deploying Trident II D-5 missiles throughout the entire ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) fleet, placing high-yield W88 warheads on many of those missiles, and deploying stealthy B-2 bombers – that today a first strike could succeed even if the performance of key U.S. weapon systems fell far short of their expected accuracy, reliability, or both.

By the end of the 1980s, however, the submarine-launched ballistic missile had turned another page. The accuracy of the Trident II (D-5) SLBM, planned as the replacement for the Trident I with Trident II deployments beginning in 1989, was comparable to that of the MX/Peacekeeper ICBM, the most accurate land-based missile in the U.S. strategic arsenal. Owing to its improved accuracy and larger payload compared to its SLBM predecessors, Trident II would be able to attack hardened targets in the Soviet Union that were not previously vulnerable to sea-launched ballistic missiles. Although U.S. planners might assume that these strikes against hardened targets in the Soviet Union would be retaliatory attacks, a Soviet net-assessment of U.S. first-strike capabilities would have to include the improved sea-based missiles.

Although it is acurate enough for a 'first strike' weapon, successive governments have been adamant that the purpose of the current Trident system is as a 'deterrent' against nuclear or similarly cataclysmic attack on Britain. The Trident 'mission' is outlined by the Ministry of Defense: 'In a posture known as Continuous At Sea Defence (CASD), one submarine, armed with up to 16 Trident missiles and up to 48 warheads, is always on deterrent patrol 24 hours a day, 365 days a year' (MoD, 2006).
