The USA built 3 Nuclear missile bases during the cold war in the 1960's. Each base had 18 missiles and were programed to launch in under 30 minutes. Only the President could give the order!
The idea was that they would never shoot first. If you had more power than your enemy, and they launched a missile at you, you shot back and totally destroyed them. Each missile would destroy an area of 27 sq miles.

Ohhhh - I thought Rose Ann was really interested in the variety of cacti (rather than the sign!)
