What is the biggest navy submarine?
The Russian Typhoon Class SLBM Sub.
Who can deliver nuclear weapon in 10 minutes?
A SLBM can deliver its payload(s) in that time frame.
When did the US have the capability to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles from a submarine?
The Polaris SLBM program started in 1956; the first successful launch from the USS George Washington (SSBN-598) was on July 20, 1960. Later in 1961 the Polaris A-2 SLBM entered active service in the Navy's submarine fleet.
What is a Submariner called?
In the American submarine force their are two types of missiles: 1. Tomahawk® Land Attack Missile (TLAM) 2. Sea-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) A multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) warhead is what is deployed on a SLBM. The TLAM can carry a conventional warhead or a single nuclear warhead.

Who is the most power full country india or pakistan in nuclear weapon?
India has advanced and more weapons than Pakistan. They also have more range. Pakistan only has mere SLBM while Idia has ICBM's.
Which lab Los Alamos or Livermore designed the warhead for the first US submarine launched ballistic missile?
In 1957, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory was selected to develop the nuclear warhead for the UGM-27 Polaris SLBM.
What has the author Franz B Tuteur written?
Franz B. Tuteur has written: 'Some aspects of the detectability of broadband sonar signals by nondirectional passive hydrophones' -- subject(s): Sonar, Submarines (Ships) 'Optimal guidance policy for a boost-phase SLBM interceptor' -- subject(s): Antimissile missiles

What devices were developed to deliver powerful nuclear weapons?
The intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was the eventual method developed to deliver nuclear weapons. The variants IRBM (intermediate range ballistic missile) and SLBM (submarine launched ballistic missile) are currently used, along with cruise missiles. However, some weapons are still carried by jet bombers in the USAF's Air Force Global Strike Command (formerly Strategic Air Command).
Who invented the nuclear missile?
This is two separate inventions: the nuclear bomb/warhead and the vertical launch long range rocket. They were separately invented at different times by different people, then mated together to make SRBM, IRBM, SLBM, and ICBM. Robert Goddard & Werner von Braun both independently invented different vertical launch long range rockets. Leo Szilard invented the fission bomb, Stan Ulam and Edward Teller invented the fusion bomb.
What are weapons of nuclear submarine?
Modern submarines carry a wide variety of weapons. An example of a U.S. Navy Fast-Attack Submarine weapons capability includes: Homing Torpedoes (Active and Passive Sonar) Tomahawk Land-Attack Missile (Conventional and Nuclear) Tomahawk Anti-Ship Missile Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile Mines Ballistic Missile submarines can carry those weapons as well, but their primary mission is Nuclear Deterrence, and as such their main weapons are Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBM's).
