http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/0312missile21.html

SEATTLE - A ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead was damaged in November while it was being removed from a submarine at a naval base near Seattle, a Defense official said Thursday, speaking the condition of anonymity.

There was no release of any radioactive material, the official said. Military experts quoted in newspaper stories about the Nov. 7 accident said the chances of a nuclear explosion were extremely remote.

The incident involved a Trident I C-4 missile as it was removed from a missile tube on the USS Georgia. Details were first reported on a Web site run by a former Navy officer.
