Lindsey Brigman: Coffey, these are the missile hatches, is that right?
Lt. Hiram Coffey: That's right. It looks like a couple of hatches have sprung. Radiation's nominal. Warheads must still be intact.
Lindsey Brigman: How many are there?
Lt. Hiram Coffey:

Twenty-four Trident missiles, eight M.I.R.V.s per missile.
Lindsey Brigman: [after a pause] That's a hundred and ninety-two warheads, Coffey. How powerful are they?
Lt. Hiram Coffey: The M.I.R.V. is a tactical nuke. Uh, fifty kilotons, nominal yield, say... five times Hiroshima.
