Pentagon Deploys 1st Low-Yield Nuclear Warhead-Armed Submarine
--------------------------------------------------------------

The Pentagon has deployed the first submarine armed with a low-yield
Trident nuclear warhead in a move that anti-nuclear activists say
increases the threat of nuclear war. The USS Tennessee is currently
patrolling the Atlantic carrying a nuclear warhead with a third of the
explosive power of the atomic bomb the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima.
