A submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) designed to replace the smaller UGM-133A Trident D5 aboard the Chamberlain class ballistic missile submarines. Like the Trident, the Triton is a three-stage intercontinental range missile with improved terminal guidance as well as solid-fuelled post-boost vehicle stage. The missile is cold-launched from a submarine vertical launch tube.
