I forgot about those. Thanks for reminding me. : ) My information says

Lockheed Trident II D5 SLBM
Dimensions: length 13.96m (45.8 ft), diameter 1.89m (6 ft 2.4 in) ... Close
enough. : )
Weight: 57153 kg (126,000 lb) ... Just a slight difference... : )

The Trident I C4 missiles are in the first 8 Ohios (USS Ohio, Michigan,
Florida, Georgia, Henry M. Jackson, Alabama, Alaska, Nevada, SSBN726 -
SSBN733).

The Trident II D5 missiles are in all the others, though refits for the
older subs are planned. My information's a little old, though, so refits
*may* have already taken place on a few of them.
