For construction, procurement, production, modification, and modernization of missiles, torpedoes, other weapons, other ordnance and ammunition, and related support equipment including spare parts, and accessories therefor; expansion of public and private plants, including the land necessary therefor; and such lands and interests therein, may be acquired, and construction prosecuted thereon prior to approval of title. The following paragraphs provide justification for the FY 1992 program and FY 1993 request for the Weapons Procurement, Navy (WPN) appropriation. Initial spare parts amounts are included for information under each system or line item but are budgeted separately in the spares and repair parts category of the Budget Activity 6 justification. Funds budgeted under this activity finance the procurement of fleet ballistic missiles, ancillary checkout and test equipment, missile modifications, and support equipment and facilities required to outfit and support the submarines assigned to the sea-based strategic deterrent forces. The Trident mission is to provide an undersea missile system in order to ensure that the U.S. continues to maintain a credible deterrent independent of forseeable threats in the 1990's and beyond. To accomplish this mission, the Trident I missile was developed to support two separate systems.
