Anonymous sources close to the matter. No classified material was shared. From a rich guy off handedly commenting on Australia buying subs Trump responds with the equivelant of "American subs are way badass, can carry X number of missiles and destroy enemies bigly from varying range!"

The kind of stuff you find in those reference books about subs, aircraft and tanks often sold in wholesale clubs and bookstores. The kind of stuff on Wikipedia right now. Or Britannica.

Sensationalized crap. Whats next on the TDS show?

oh #, I just spilled the secrets to foreign nationals.

Wiki
The US Navy has a total of 18 Ohio-class submarines which consist of 14 ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs), and four cruise missile submarines (SSGNs). The SSBN submarines provide the sea-based leg of the U.S. nuclear triad. Each SSBN submarine is armed with up to 20 Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM). Each SSGN is capable of carrying 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles, plus a complement of Harpoon missiles to be fired through their torpedo tubes.

General characteristics (SSBN-726 to SSBN-733 from construction to refueling)
Armament 20[a] × Trident I C4 SLBM with up to 8 MIRVed 100 ktTNT W76 nuclear warheads each, range 4,000 nmi (7,400 km; 4,600 mi)

Careful.
The dummies that don’t have more than 2 brain cells are going to report you to the FBI for sharing nuclear sub secrets.

This is how stupid these clowns are.

Hey, I guess we can find out all that information here too....

Ohio-class 14 Ohio-class SSBNs form the sea-based leg of the U.S. strategic deterrent triad. The vessels carry Trident II D5 SLBMs, though since 2017, the Navy has been replacing these with Trident II D5LE, a life-extended version equipped with a new guidance system for improved accuracy. Ohio-class submarines previously contained 24 launch tubes each, but the number was reduced to 20 to meet limits under New START. Assuming an average of twelve operational submarines with 20 launch tubes each and four warheads per missile, these boats carry roughly 960 warheads. However, given that normally only eight to ten of the Ohio-class submarines are deployed at one time due to regular minor repairs, the actual number of warheads in the field is closer to 720

Oh noooooooos....arrest these folks.

The worse part is that the media is still pushing it....

Trump gave key details on the US Navy’s elite submarine fleet — including the number of nuclear warheads they can carry and how close they can get to Russian vessels without being detected

The very highly classified technology and tactics involving our weapons of war is not something that would be available to any political figure, including the president. They know classified information that would be considered "General" and on a need to know basis so they could accurately converse with the military and other government officials.

Enabling any politician in knowing critical facts that could compromise or disable a weapon considered a Primary defense mechanism, would certainly not be in the best interest of the country as our intelligence would not be able to control it.

IMO, but think that is the way it is.

Oh goodie
More aussie piss dossier bs

Whoo hoo
