Nice to see that he did his research, because in 1982 Poseidon was the primary SLBM in the US inventory. Polaris was retired, and only a small number of Trident and Trident Backfit submarines were in service. Most sources that talk about US SLBMs seem to jump straight from Polaris to Trident and ignore Poseidon entirely.

OTOH, it's a bit odd that he didn't emphasize Trident as they were a hot topic at the time as the 726 class was coming online.
