Nuclear warheads are pretty flexible, and can be set to detonate in several ways, and in all mediums:
1. Underwater (e.g., ASROC)
2. Atmospheric (high altitude (EMP burst) or low altitude air burst over target
3. Contact / Terminal coordinates (e.g., GPS) detonation on land or at sea
4. Underground penetration and detonation
5. Timer set on device placed in any location
