A KC-135 Stratotanker refuels a B-2 Spirit bomber over the Pacific Ocean. The B-2 and KC-135 are essential elements of the U.S. nuclear triad, which includes ballistic missile submarines, intercontinental ballistic missiles, nuclear-capable heavy bombers and associated aerial tankers, and the assured warning and command-and-control system that interconnects them.
