Nonviolent Direct Action at the Gates of the Naval Base Kitsap/Bangor

Nonviolent Direct Action at the Gates of the Naval Base Kitsap/Bangor- May 10th 12:30 PM
 
The Kitsap/Bangor Naval base is 20 miles west of Seattle and home to the largest active nuclear weapons depot on the West Coast, housing 2,364 nuclear warheads. Trident Submarines carrying Trident missiles are likely to be used first in any nuclear attack. The D-5 missiles are equipped to carry either 100kt or 455kt of nuclear force (the Hiroshima bomb was 14kt) and can travel over 1,370 miles in less than 13 minutes allowing for a U.S. nuclear strike anywhere on the planet within 15 minutes. This Naval submarine base presently houses more nuclear warheads than the countries of England, France, China, India, Pakistan and North Korea combined.
