UK's Trident nuclear-deterrent missile system fails test for second time

There have been two consecutive failures in the testing of the United Kingdom's Trident nuclear deterrent system. The latest incident occurred on January 30, 2023, during an exercise near Florida, when an "anomaly" was reported during a test launch from the nuclear-powered submarine HMS Vanguard. This follows an earlier failure off the coast of Florida in June 2016, where a Trident missile veered off course. The nature of these anomalies and their potential impact on the effectiveness of the Trident system have not been specified in the provided articles. The tests involve launching up to eight Trident missiles, each armed with nuclear warheads capable of causing mass destruction.
