The RSM-56 Bulava (Russian: Булава , lit. "
mace", NATO reporting name SS-NX-30 or SS-N-32 , GRAU index 3M30) is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) developed for the Russian Navy and deployed in 2013 on the new Borei class of ballistic missile nuclear submarines.
 It is intended as the future cornerstone of Russia's nuclear triad, and is the most expensive weapons project in the country.
 The weapon takes its name from "bulava", a Russian word for mace.
 Bulava has 25% greater range and a 30 percent lower throw-weight than the 1979 American Trident C4 missile.
An intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) is a ballistic missile with a range of 3,000–5,500 km (1,864–3,418 miles), between a medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) and an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
 Classifying ballistic missiles by range is done mostly for convenience; in principle there is very little difference between a low-performance ICBM and a high-performance IRBM, because decreasing payload mass can increase range over ICBM threshold.
 The range definition used here is used within the U.S. Missile Defense Agency.
 Some other sources include an additional category, the long-range ballistic missile (LRBM), to describe missiles with a range between IRBMs and true ICBMs.
 The more modern term theater ballistic missile encompasses MRBMs and SRBMs, including any ballistic missile with a range under 3500 km .
Project Nobska was a 1956 summer study on anti-submarine warfare (ASW) for the United States Navy ordered by Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Arleigh Burke.
 It is also referred to as the Nobska Study, named for its location on Nobska Point near the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
 The focus was on the ASW implications of nuclear submarines, particularly on new technologies to defend against them.
 The study was coordinated by the Committee on Undersea Warfare (CUW) of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS).
 It was notable for including 73 representatives from numerous organizations involved in submarine design, submarine-related fields, and weapons design, including senior scientists from the Atomic Energy Commission's nuclear weapons laboratories.
 Among the participants were Nobel laureate Isidor Rabi, Paul Nitze, and Edward Teller.
 The study's recommendations influenced all subsequent US Navy submarine designs, as well as submarine-launched ASW tactical nuclear weapons until this weapon type was phased out in the late 1980s.
 Although not on the initial agenda, the Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) was determined to be capable of implementation at this conference.
 Within five years Polaris would exponentially improve the US Navy's strategic nuclear deterrent capability.
A ballistic missile submarine is a submarine deploying submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) with nuclear warheads.
 The United States Navy's hull classification symbols for ballistic missile submarines are SSB and SSBN – the "SS" denotes submarine (or submersible ship), the "B" denotes ballistic missile, and the "N" denotes that the submarine is nuclear powered.
 These submarines became a major weapon system in the Cold War because of their nuclear deterrence capability.
 They can fire missiles thousands of kilometers from their targets, and acoustic quieting makes them difficult to detect (see acoustic signature), thus making them a survivable deterrent in the event of a first strike and a key element of the mutual assured destruction policy of nuclear deterrence.
 Their deployment has been dominated by the United States and the Soviet Union / Russia, with smaller numbers in service with France, the United Kingdom, China, and most recently India.
Naval Base Kitsap is a U.S. Navy base located on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington state.
 It was created in 2004 by merging the former Naval Station Bremerton with Naval Submarine Base Bangor.
 The Mission of Naval Base Kitsap is to serve as the home base for the Navy’s fleet throughout West Puget Sound and to provide base operating services, including support for both surface ships and Fleet Ballistic Missile and other nuclear submarines having their home ports at Bremerton and Bangor.
41 for Freedom refers to the US Navy Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) submarines from the "George Washington" , "Ethan Allen" , "Lafayette" , "James Madison" , and "Benjamin Franklin" class es.
 All of these submarines were commissioned 1959-1967, as the goal was to create a credible, survivable sea-based deterrent as quickly as possible.
 These submarines were nicknamed "41 for Freedom" once the goal of 41 nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) was established in the early 1960s.
 The 1972 SALT I Treaty limited the number of American submarine-launched ballistic missile tubes to 656, based on the total missile tubes of the forty-one submarines, in line with the treaty's goal of limiting strategic nuclear weapons to the number already existing.
In nuclear strategy, a counterforce target is one that has a military value, such as a launch silo for intercontinental ballistic missiles, an airbase at which nuclear-armed bombers are stationed, a homeport for ballistic missile submarines, or a command and control installation.
 The intent of a counterforce strategy (i.e., attacking counterforce targets with nuclear weapons) is to disarm an adversary by destroying its nuclear weapons before they can be launched, thereby minimizing the impact of a retaliatory second strike.
 However, counterforce attacks are also possible in a second strike, especially with weapons like UGM-133 Trident II.
 A counterforce target is distinguished from a countervalue target, which includes an adversary's population, knowledge, economic, or political resources.
 In other words, a counterforce strike is against an adversary's military while a countervalue strike is against an adversary's cities.
 A closely related tactic is the decapitation strike, which by destroying an enemy's nuclear command and control facilities similarly intends to eliminate or reduce their ability to launch a second strike.
State Route 40 (SR 40) is a 30.46 mi state highway in the southeast part of the U.S. state of Georgia.
 The highway travels from US 1/US 23/US 301/SR 4/SR 15 in Folkston east to Church Street in St. Marys.
 SR 40 is the primary east–west highway of eastern Charlton County and southern Camden County.
 The highway connects Folkston and St. Marys with Kingsland, where the route meets Interstate 95 (I-95) and US 17/SR 25.
 SR 40 also serves as the majority of the route from I-95 to Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay and Cumberland Island National Seashore.
 SR 40 has a pair of auxiliary routes: a connector route in Folkston and a spur route in St. Marys that provides access to the submarine base and Crooked River State Park.
The Trident missile is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) equipped with multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRV).
 Originally developed by Lockheed Missiles and Space Corporation, the missile is armed with thermonuclear warheads and is launched from nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs).
 Trident missiles are carried by fourteen US Navy "Ohio"-class submarine s, with US warheads, and four Royal Navy "Vanguard"-class submarine s, with British warheads.
 The missile is named after the mythological trident of Neptune.
Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay is a base of the United States Navy located adjacent to the town of St. Marys in Camden County, Georgia, in southeastern Georgia, and 38 miles (61 km) from Jacksonville, Florida.
 The Submarine Base is the U.S. Atlantic Fleet's home port for U.S. Navy Fleet ballistic missile nuclear submarines armed with Trident missile nuclear weapons.
 This submarine base covers about 16,000 acres (6,400 hectares) of land, of which 4,000 acres (1,600 hectares) are protected wetlands.
