The U.S. Navy’s sixth Trident II D5 Performance Evaluation Missile was launched from the submerged USS Tennessee (SSBN 734) at 9:15 a.m. on Dec. 15, 1989, off the East Coast of Florida. This missile incorporated all fixes necessary to preclude the failures in PEM flights 1 and 3. The D5 is a three-stage, solid propellant, inertially guided fleet ballistic missile launched underwater from the Ohio-class submarines.
