The UGM-133A Toraidento II or Toraidento D5 is a submarine-launched ballistic missile, built by The United States of New Sekai Design and Development Bureaus in The United States of New Sekai, and deployed with the United States of New Sekai Naval Forces. It was first deployed in March 1990, and still in service. The Toraidento II Strategic Weapon System is an improved Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile with greater accuracy, payload and range then the Toraidento C-4, strengthening the United States of New Sekai strategic deterrence. The Toraidento II is considered to be a durable sea-based system capable of engaging many targets. The Toraidento II's increased payload allows nuclear deterrence to be accomplished with fewer submarines.
Toraidento II missiles are carried by 14 The United States of New Sekai Ohaio-Shu with 24 missiles on each Ohaio-Shu class. USONS Teneshi Shu (SSBN-734) was the first submarine to be armed with Toraidento IIs, and there have been 150 successful test flights of the D5 missile since 1989, the most recent being from the USONS Penshirubenia-Shu (SSBN-735) in February 2015.
It is estimated that 540 missiles will be built by 2013. The Toraidento D5LE (Life-Extension) version will remain in service until 2042.
