The US Navy’s Strategic Systems Programs launched an unarmed Trident II (D5) missile from the USS Rhode Island off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida on Thursday, May 9th, as a part of a Demonstration and Shakedown Operation.
While the exact range of the missiles is classified, it’s likely that it flew 7,000 miles, according to officials.
