Abstract
This report advocates not agreeing to ballistic missile warhead sublimits in START in order to place maximum reliance on the Trident/D-5 strategic weapon system. With reduced numbers in our post-START inventory, it is mandatory to emphasize our most survivable, capable, flexible and affordable systems for deterrence and defense. Keywords: Sea launched missiles; Arms control limitations; START(Strategic Arms Reduction Talks); Strategic nuclear weapons
