Topic: Which part of the USA Nuclear Triad was More Effective?

I would have to go with the Ballistic Missile Subs as well, although you use present tense, as all three legs are still operational and needed.

I don't think the Soviets were ever effective in tracking any of the USN or UK Boomers for any length of time. Most of what I have read indicates that any tail by a Soviet sub lasted only a few hours - as compared to the days and weeks that the USN attack subs were able to tail the Soviet missile boats.
