The warhead was initially manufactured from 1978 to 1987 and designed by Los Alamos National Laboratory.It was initially fitted to the Trident I SLBM system, but after the Rocky Flats plant where its successor the W88 was being made was shut down in 1989 after a production run of only 400 warheads, it was decided to transfer W76 warheads to Trident II.
It was advertised that the Trident got 100 miles per imperial gallon (2.8 L/100 km; 83 mpg ‑US), "almost cheaper than walking". The original retail price was £190. [1] All engines supplied to Peel from Zweirad Union (for both the P50 and Trident) were of the 49 cc 3-speed 4.2 hp 804–1600 type.
