SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 6 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy's Trident II D5 ballistic missile has flown successfully in new test flights, setting a reliability record for large ballistic missiles.
Two unarmed missiles, made by Lockheed Martin, were fired in the Atlantic Ocean earlier this month from a submerged Ohio-class submarine as part of the vessel's demonstration and shakedown activities following overhaul, the Navy said.
