The numbers are fairly close. The Ohio Class subs displace about 16,000 tons surfaced and can carry 24 Tridents, so that's about 10 percent of total weight.

Carsten they do shoot them from underwater. I am not sure what the
diameter of the
tubes are but does not seem like the water would be 65 tons worth.
All combined that
is one heck of a drop weight 1,560 tons
