The P-8A was assigned today the name Poseidon. I wonder if they start talking about this over open air waves that people hearing "Poseidon one has lifted off" won't think about the other Poseidon that was in USN inventory, the UGM-73 SLBM

When would they ever hear that? What they'd hear is something more like "Whiskey two-niner now en route", no?

Your right. I was just trying to get a little laugh in about the name and how it was close to the nuclear missile.

What the heck, it's an appropriate name. The first one launched nukes from subs at targets ashore, this one launches nukes at subs from targets ashore. There's a pleasing symmetry to it all ... <_<
