USA's new global strike weapon
X-51 hypersonic cruise missile could travel 600 miles in 10 minutes to strike elusive, fleeting targets.
The mission: Attack anywhere in the world in less than an hour.
When the order comes, the sub shoots a 65-ton Trident II ballistic missile into the sky. Within 2 minutes, the missile is traveling at more than 20,000 ft. per second.
