SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 10 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy achieved several new successful test flights for two Lockheed Martin-built Trident II D5 Fleet Ballistic Missiles during the first week of November, the munitions' manufacturer said Tuesday.
The unarmed missiles were launched from a submerged Ohio-class submarine in a testing area in the Pacific Ocean on Nov. 7 and Nov. 9, Lockheed Martin said. For the test, kits were used to configure the missiles for testing purposes.
