Description
English: The C-3 Poseidon was designed to be the new-and-improved, more powerful successor to the A-3 Polaris Missile, which is also on display at USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park. The C-3 was larger and more than twice the weight of the A-3. Outfitted with multiple independently-targetable re-entry vehicle (MIRV) warheads, the C-3 was twice as accurate and had twice the explosive power of the A-3. Considering these factors, experts believe it to be eight times as deadly as the A-3. See also: en:UGM-73 Poseidon
