Question:

what military branch holds U.S nukes?

the army, navy, air force, or marines?? who has them ready to go **** **** up?

Answer:

Marines DO NOT have nuclear weapons. The Navy does however. Air Force has a **** load of them because they are the primary delivery option for a nuclear strike (B-2s, B-52's, ICBM's). Army has some for ground attacks.
all of the above.
well all of them, except coast guard it think, they each are different sizes and have different purposes. Navy- large land structures, if the government wants to get rid of a large target (ship, city, base...etc...) they have subs and missile cruisers AF- Used for missile dominance (silos, main nuclear deterrent defense Army/marines - land portable nukes for eliminating ground forces.
All branches have nuclear weapons except for the US Coast Guard. All four branches have missiles. Marines and Army have nuke artillery, Navy has nuke torpedoes, Navy and Air force has cruise missiles.
The Air Force has a few in silos. One missile per silo, and only one nuc per missile. Also everyone with knows where our silos are since they watched us dig them. The Navy has boomers. Up to 24 missiles per boomer and up to 14 warheads per missile. We launch them into orbit, and from their orbit they can later begin dropping warheads. Also they can change their orbits between each warhead they drop. So their orbit can be like zig-zagging which makes them terribly hard to shoot down. The Navy is seriously the 'big stick' when it comes to launching nucs.
